Jonathan Bailey, a staple of headlines, has once again captured attention, but this time it is not for a role or a red-carpet appearance. His recent feature in TIME magazine has fans buzzing in ways no one anticipated, sparking a frenzy across social media. The actor’s charm and presence seem to leap off the page, leaving readers unable to look away. With every pixel of the frame, Bailey has the masses reacting, some in disbelief, others in delight, but the exact reason behind the stir is sparking conversations everywhere.

The TIME magazine feature shows Bailey in a brown and white outfit, perfectly in line with the fall season. The actor does not try hard with posing; instead, he leans against a white background, stretching his feet towards the camera while maintaining a serious face. Though his face card did not decline, as always, the conversation his latest picture sparked is unexpected. Fans cannot stop talking about his bare feet, turning the feature into a full-blown moment.

Notably, Jonathan Bailey’s feature for TIME was penned by none other than his Wicked co-star Ariana Grande, who recalled their first meeting. Grande wrote in the article how she felt as if she had known Bailey for years as soon as they came face to face, while also appreciating his dedication to his craft, revealing that the actor, during their time together on the musical-film, was also juggling Bridgerton and Fellow Travelers. While reading the piece can be as interesting an experience as watching Bailey glow on screen, fans on the internet appeared to have other plans altogether.
