Jonathan Bailey Sydney sightings : The newly crowned Sexiest Man Alive has been popping up around Sydney, including a recent unannounced visit to a well-known pub in Surry Hills.
Jonathan Bailey appears to be making the most of his time in Australia now that the Wicked: For Good global press tour has wrapped up.
The British actor, newly titled as People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive, has been seen enjoying different spots across Sydney as he unwinds following his intense promotional schedule.
His latest sighting was on Wednesday at The Beresford bar and beer garden in Surry Hills, where the Bridgerton star blended in with the Harbour City crowd.

The audience erupted when the British actor stepped out, marking his return to Sydney exactly one year after promoting the first film with co-stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo.
In an Instagram video recorded just before he walked on stage, Bailey shared his excitement about being back in what he called the “real land of Oz.
I’ve just arrived in Oz, and I’ve missed it so much. I wanted to come back to the real land of Oz, where we kicked off the press tour for the first film last year,” he said in the backstage clip from IMAX.

Crowds Erupt as Bailey Appears at Second Sydney Screening
Bailey pulled off another surprise on Wednesday night, appearing on stage at the ICC Sydney Theatre during the TikTok Awards to present the TikTok For Good Award.
Standing here tonight, I’m reminded that you don’t need magic to make a real impact,” he told the thousands in attendance after being introduced by host Sophie Monk.
TikTok may be celebrated for its creativity, humour, and entertainment, but it has also evolved into a platform where people take action, speak up, and support their communities. A single video, a single message, a single moment of humanity can spread far beyond the screen and change lives.
Bailey’s trip to Sydney follows just weeks after he inherited the Sexiest Man Alive title from last year’s honouree, actor John Krasinski.
So how does the British star really feel about his new crown?

It’s a tremendous honour. I’m genuinely flattered — and it feels completely ridiculous,” he said in his interview with People.
It’s been under wraps, so I’m actually excited for my friends and family to finally find out.
Because of a nondisclosure agreement, Bailey explained that he hadn’t shared the news with anyone except his dog, Benson. But now that the title is public, he knows his friends will have plenty to say about it.
They’ll be annoyed I kept it from them — and then they’ll scream with excitement,” he laughed. “They’ve known me forever. Beneath the label of ‘sexy man’ are all the real truths they’ve seen. They know all the secrets.
