With the world of music and cinema converging in 2024 like never before, there is just as much to anticipate as to celebrate. Although Lady Gaga may have slipped a pass on the latter, Ariana Grande stepping into the cinematic universe with Wicked is probably something that still brings a glimmer of hope. However, in a major curveball, before the movie could even hit the theaters, Jonathan Bailey was the showstopper who overpowered Grande and Cynthia Erivo in the process. But the reason fans cannot keep their calm is everything wicked.

Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, and Jonathan Bailey arrived for Wicked’s photo call in Sydney, only for Bailey to steal the show single-handedly. Grande embodied Glinda in pink and Erivo transformed into her character in a striking green. But the showstopper of the evening, who had fans cheering Bailey all the way, wore a daring sheer black top and satin shorts that showcased his sculpted legs and perfectly defined calves as if the Greeks arrived in Down Under.

Grande slipped into the color code of Wicked in a delightful pastel pink and white strapless top paired with a flowing ankle-length skirt, while Erivo transformed into her character in a stunning green embroidered top and lace-patterned bottoms. However, the black beauty who turned heads and caught every eye in the room was Bailey with his perfect legs resembling finely crafted marble columns, standing tall and strong.

While fans may have shown some resilience to a particular change in Grande before which she made for the movie, this time around, they were too busy to remove their eyes from Bailey to show any kind of contestation. 

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo may bring the main character energy in the upcoming musical drama, Wicked. But if fans have their eyes on anyone throughout the press tour, it is none other than Jonathan Bailey. Of course, not many would have guessed a spotlight theft like this would be at all possible, but with Bailey pulling all stops in fashion, giving a special peek at his athletic physique fans are safely under the spell of the one and only.

Many fans were in utter disbelief at his spectacular build while the others were busy dropping their jaws to the floor.

Although all the stars did was channel their characters and associated couture catalogs, the physique peek was a bonus nod that almost no one saw coming. However, now that they have, it remains to be seen if Bailey's leg days steal the momentum in the movie or cut some starry slack for Grande and Erivo to cast a spell or two.
