Jonathan Bailey Recalls Very Awkward Ariana Grande Moment While Shooting Wicked

Jonathan Bailey at the UK premiere of Wicked last yearJonathan Bailey has admitted he and his Wicked co-star Ariana Grande had a bit of an awkward moment when they were still getting to know one another.The British actor plays Fieryo in both Wicked and its much-hyped sequel, shooting both films back-to-back in a rather hectic time for his career, during which he was also making the TV shows Bridgerton and Fellow Travellers.As a result, Jonathan told British GQ that his rehearsal time on the movie was rather limited, with the Emmy nominee having just three days to prepare before filming began.“I remember having four hours to learn how to do a dance move,” he explained. “I did it with Ari, headbutted her, and was like, ‘Gotta go!’” Jonathan Bailey and Ariana Grande in WickedHe quipped: “I think she might have even headbutted me, but it was a meeting of minds, literally.”Fortunately, despite the literal tête-à-tête, he and the Twilight Zone singer went on to forge a strong friendship, at one point even attending Wimbledon together during their Wicked downtime.Last year, Jonathan spoke candidly about the toll that shooting multiple projects at the same time took on one particular aspect of his appearance.He claimed that having a perm for Bridgerton and a straight do for Fellow Travellers left his hair “looking like coral” – and as a result, he had to sport a “big old toupée” to play Fiyero in Wicked.“I’m in the choreography so it’s flapping about!” he joked to Variety during an Actors On Actors interview with Naomi Watts.Wicked For Good sees Jonathan once again sharing the screen with the likes of Cynthia Erivo, Jeff Goldblum and Michelle Yeoh, in the movie adaptation of the stage musical’s second act.The first trailer for the sequel was released on Wednesday night, ahead of its worldwide release on Friday 21 November.Read Jonathan Bailey’s full interview in the Heroes issue of British GQ on sale from 10 June.View this post on InstagramA post shared by British GQ (@britishgq)MORE WICKED:9 Things We Need To Talk About Immediately In The New Wicked For Good TrailerHere's Why A Scene Of Jonathan Bailey And Ethan Slater 'Ripping Their Shirts Off' Was Cut From WickedJonathan Bailey Opens Up About This 1 Change He Made To His Appearance For Wicked
