Tell me the truth, how many munchkins have you eaten? It looks incredibly fun and I am so excited for how much recognition you are getting from this. Little late notice but yes Im free tonight and can make myself presentable in a hour. Bring it on, I am so excited.

I am not willing to disclose that information. Can I just say you looked so good. Fit right in with all the gorgeous looks tonight. Thank you for being my date, darling. Must do it again some time.

i'm around, so please — let's get together and let me really treat you. i'm thinking a good dinner, and a surprise or two.

Oh my, I can't wait to be spoilt by you.

It's what everybody has started calling me now anyway, so might as well make it real on paper, too. So glad I got to bring along my dog Benson, he loved all the attention! Sounds good to me! I'm still a little busy, and I'm not sure the weather in England is quite picnic weather right now, but we'll figure something out soon.

i thoroughly believe that you'll go down in history as one of the best picks for Sexiest Man Alive. i've seen some good ones over the years but you really are the best choice i've seen in a while. i think the last good pick i saw that i really thought was actually perfect was when Charlie Hunnam was picked. how does it feel, though? honestly. being picked for that coveted slot has to be a bit crazy for anyone.

I certainly hope so! What's better than a man who truly appreciates the sexiness of men? Charlie is hot as hell, so not surprising for him, really. I can't say I've been outright disappointed with previous picks - I feel like I'm among the greats.

How are you handling the horrific burden of being the sexiest man of the year? | @famebailey

I am taking it very seriously. Standing up for the rights of sexy men, upholding our way of life by being continually sexy at every event I attend. It's been tough, but I'm loving it.

Guilty of being on both sides of the action? How so? You have me curious now? You wouldn't happen to have extended the offer to this weekend? Just to grab some friendly lunch and some drinks? It's a very special superpower you excel at

I've been known to engage in a few dalliances, and keep them at arm's length when it suits me. It might surprise you to know that I'm not exactly good at dating. I'm in New York for the weekend, so if you are, too, I'd love that. Thank you, darling. Move over, Superman.

Sexiest Man Alive, eh? Look at you go, mate! You’re really out here taking over the world one headline at a time. How’s it all sinking in?

I know, who'd have thought? It's nice to know that after all these years, I'm finally sexy. It's taking some real adjustment. With great power comes great responsibility.

hope that's soon because i've still got some time, but i'm sure you're busy with press for your upcoming project and probably looking breath-taking doing such.

I have been doing a bit of that, yes. But I'm in New York at the weekend, if you find yourself around.

So not only am I geeking out as a fellow theater nerd regarding Wicked - CONGRATS on being the sexiest man alive! How does it feel?! @famebailey

Double thanks, mate! I'm so excited for everybody to see Wicked For Good - it's an incredible movie, it really is. And being told by everybody I'm sexy is quite the ego boost. I'm sure you can relate.

Stop do they? I love that for you and them. Speaking of the most important person in your life, I haven't yet gotten to congratulate you! I literally screamed when I saw it was you! How is the press tour going? Having fun?

Thank you so much, lovely! I still can't believe it, it's all been a bit mad. And that happening, then going right into the press tour, it's already been a busy month, and this is only the beginning! It's so much fun, though, having the time of my life. By the way, if you find yourself in New York on the 17th, I'd love you to be my guest to the premiere.

Well, that weighs a little heavy on the heart, realizing this isn't the first situation like this. It wasn't easy to explain to start with if that makes any sense? Just a jumble up in my brain as I try to decode it all. What I am hearing is that it made it a little more exciting? Damn, I think I'm complimented again, you are all too well at doing that.

Don't worry, I'm a big boy, and I'm totally guilty of being on both sides of the action. That's alright, you don't have to explain anything, I was just offering the chance if you felt you wanted to. Have you not figured out by now that compliments are my superpower? Ought to be careful around me.

Coming from the mouth of 2025's Sexiest Man Alive, I'll take that as the highest of praise, darling.

You ought to. My words carry even more weight now.

my poor heart can't take the pain, jonathan! west side story really is one of the best shows. i feel like i'd pull off riff more so than tony. i feel like you'd be surprised to know that i can, just don't usually pull out those kind of moves.

How can I make it up to you, darling? It's incredible, and full of so much life, there's a reason it feels so timeless. I can definitely see you being an amazing Riff. No, I definitely believe it! I just need to see them sometime.
