Jonathan Bailey Says ‘Wicked’ Had Profound Effect on Him
Jonathan Bailey describes Fiyero's shift from carefree to principled and balancing filming Wicked: For Good with Bridgerton and Fellow Travelers, crediting expert support for his quick preparation.
- Bailey told The Hollywood Reporter he balanced shooting Wicked: For Good with Bridgerton and Fellow Travelers, filming three Bridgerton days while managing overlapping TV commitments.
- As written for the sequel, Fiyero shifts from carefree to committed, becoming a troubled protector of Elphaba, which significantly influenced Jonathan Bailey's portrayal in Wicked: For Good.
- Bailey had only four days of rehearsal, relying on prosthetics and stage effects while performing the duet "As Long As You're Mine" with Cynthia Erivo.
- He said he aimed to preserve Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande's energy and described exhausting himself, calling himself "a hollow shell" after pushing through scenes protecting Elphaba.
- Matt Bomer's COVID case threatened Fellow Travelers' schedule, yet producers organized a tight timetable across three projects and Bailey met Jon M. Chu in Belsize Park, London.
