“I FEEL LIKE EVERYONE has their own process. I try to get as much daylight as possible,” Jonathan Bailey quips, after being asked about the secret behind his much-discussed mutton chops as seen in Bridgerton. “Maybe spritz them every day with a bit of hyaluronic acid. My advice is to just be brave and be bold, and try not to look down too much. It gets hairy,” the 33-year-old actor adds.

While the intense sideburns contributed to the look of his character, it was Bailey’s performance as Anthony Bridgerton that garnered acclaim from both critics and audiences. Based on the Julia Quinn novels of the same name, the Netflix adaptation dives into the competitive nature of Regency-era society, in which Bailey’s character navigates his duty to his family as well as his own desires. Delivering an excellent combination of compelling drama, captivating romance, as well as visually stunning costumes, Bridgerton became the most-watched series on the streaming giant’s platform at the time of its premiere.

The second season will showcase the pursuit of a suitable marriage for the eldest Bridgerton sibling as chronicled in the second book of Quinn’s Bridgerton series, The Viscount Who Loved Me.

Recently, Augustman Malaysia had the opportunity to speak to the English actor. In this interview, Bailey talked about Anthony’s character development, his love for history, as well as what it was like to work with an intimacy coordinator.
