Jonathan Bailey Named People Magazine’s 2025 Sexiest Man Alive

Jonathan Bailey has been changed for good … after being named People Magazine’s 2025 Sexiest Man Alive.

The big reveal went down Monday night on ‘The Tonight Show’ … where the “Wicked” star shocked fans by walking out on stage after Jimmy Fallon made the announcement.

Bailey told Fallon being on the cover is the “honor of a lifetime.”

The actor is featured on two covers — one showing him deep in water, slick-haired and locking eyes with the camera … and another where he’s shirtless, holding his pup, Benson.

Bailey’s staying humble about the title … telling PEOPLE he’s “incredibly flattered” and it’s “completely absurd.”

This marks the 40th anniversary of the iconic issue … with John Krasinski taking the crown in 2024, and past winners including Brad Pitt, George Clooney, David Beckham, Dwayne Johnson, John Legend, Paul Rudd and many more.

Jonathan’s got a big couple of weeks ahead of him, with “Wicked: For Good” hitting theaters later this month — where he reprises his role as Prince Fiyero.
