Jonathan Bailey’s Era

Bailey, 37, has been steadily building his résumé (and, let’s be honest, his fanbase) since his breakout as Lord Anthony in Bridgerton.

I feel like that state is lifelong for me,” he confessed. In 2024, he founded The Shameless Fund, a charity supporting LGBTQ+ organizations dedicated to erasing shame within the community.

Born April 4, 1985 on a farm in Arlington, Texas, Hall's first brush with fame came as a contestant on the ninth season of "American Idol" (Fox, 2002-2016), during which he reached the semi-final rounds in 2010 before being voted out of the competition.
