Jonathan Bailey, recently lauded as People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive, has acquired a luxurious four-bedroom property in Brighton for approximately £1.5 million. This seaside villa is situated in a prestigious enclave bordering Brighton and Hove, affectionately known by locals as 'millionaires' row,' indicating a move into an exclusive neighbourhood.
Bailey, celebrated for his roles in 'Wicked' and 'Bridgerton,' joins a community of affluent residents, including David Walliams and Fatboy Slim, with past celebrity homeowners like Paul McCartney and Adele. He initially moved from London to East Sussex during lockdown, seeking proximity to family and embracing activities like cold-water swimming.
The 37-year-old actor's career has seen significant growth, with recent roles in 'Jurassic World Rebirth' and 'Wicked: For Good' solidifying his international presence. His acknowledgment as the first openly gay recipient of the Sexiest Man Alive title marks a historic moment, a recognition he describes as "incredibly flattering" and "completely absurd."
