Jonathan Bailey is Keeping Busy
LONDON — Jonathan Bailey has been thinking a lot about Tupperware. Not necessarily around its ability to hold food, though recently that functionhas served the actor well as he’s moved from production to production, but more how he has also been squishing different elements of his life into what feel like small, slightly misshapen boxes.
Compartmentalizing like this is “not the most comfortable thing to do, especially coming out of a pandemic,” Bailey, 33, said in a recent interview.
But to survive, he added, it has become necessary. This necessity has emerged as Bailey fast becomes one of the breakout stars of “Bridgerton,” Netflix’s hugely popular romantic period drama.
The show blends mildly subversive traits — female characters have intellectual conversations and orgasms, and its cast includes people of color — with torrid love affairs.
