Actors have various methods of getting into the characters that they play. Some actors choose any psychological aspects, others choose a specific item to feel the character in their own personality. Recently, Margot Robbie revealed she used a specific fragrance to get into her Barbie character. But Bridgerton actor, Jonathan Bailey needs a totally different thing to step into his character.

The Netflix drama reflecting the Victorian era gave huge fame to its actors. Bailey, who became a fan-favorite actor for his portrayal of Anthony Bridgerton, was the star of the second season of the show. The British actor recently spoke to Esquire about many things like punctuality, scuba-diving, and his acting career. During his conversation, he revealed he had a special connection with watches.

The 35-year-old actor revealed while other actors would choose a specific fragrance or jewelry to get into their characters, Bailey had played characters who had specific watches. This English actor is a brand ambassador of Omega Seamaster. And he recently hosted a celebratory dinner for the 75th anniversary of Omega Seamaster as well.

While talking about his liking for the watches, the Crashing star revealed as an actor builds a character, they would realize the significance of watches. The Laurence Olivier Award-winning actor revealed his personal reasons as well.

Memories that we build while growing up have a significant influence on us. The same is the case with Bailey’s love for watches as well. During this interview, he revealed his father owned an Omega, too. Moreover, his Nana also wore her mother’s watch. As a young boy, the Broadchurch star revealed, he always saw watches as “a signifier of adulthood and sophistication“.

Do you remember the Netflix Regency romance series where Anthony Bridgerton had his father’s pocket watch as well? That is a specific watch he chose for his regency-era character. From his personal attachment to turning it into a technique to connect it with his characters, the actor holds his love for watches close to his heart.

A few days ago, even  Stranger Things star, Sadie Sink talked about how she would also love to explore a fragrance for her character, Max. Even though the young actress had her own ways to become her character, Margot Robbie’s approach motivated Sink to try a different method too.
