that unexpected connection isn't Jonathan Bailey, though the actor does appear in both the film and TV show. However, the surprise is connected to the actor. Bailey stars as Anthony in Bridgerton, and his character was one of the focal points of Season 2.

Both his characters–Fiyero in Wicked and Anthony Bridgerton in Bridgerton —are horseback riders, and so both projects required Bailey to work closely with an animal. In this case, it was the same horse.

People say, don't work with kids and animals. But if it's Jack, I'd say, ‘Take the job. He's a legend,’ ” Bailey said

The actor, 36, stars as Elphaba's love interest Fiyero Tigelaar in Wicked and plays Lord Anthony in Bridgerton.
