Jonathan Bailey has been named People’s Sexiest Man Alive. He becomes the first ever openly gay man to be crowned the accolade and succeeds last year’s awardee John Krasinski.
The actor, 37, is seeing his year go from strength to strength after starring in Jurassic World Rebirth. He featured alongside Scarlett Johansson in the flick. And he is also set to hit the big screen in the Wicked sequel, Wicked: For Good.
He was also recognized by People as the Sexiest Man, to cap off an impressive calendar year. On Monday, Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show announced his accolade.

Jimmy unveiled the two upcoming cover designs for the issue during the presentation. Jonathan acknowledged that he is still “giggling” about his face being the cover and called the win “the honour of a lifetime.”
Jonathan discussed how he became the first openly gay man to hold the title. He told the host, “I’m kind of thrilled that People magazine invited someone in to bestow this honor on someone who can really cherish the value of a sexy man,”
And he further explained how he responded to the news in the article of the publication. He said, “It’s a huge honor.”
“I’m incredibly happy, of course. It is also completely absurd. I’m very excited for some friends and family to learn that it’s been a secret.
The actor, who won praise for playing Prince Fiyero in Wicked in September, revealed in September that he has decided to put his acting career on hold while working on his new LGBTQ+ charity.
The actor, who also appears in films like Bridgerton and Fellow Travelers, announced that he is leaving Hollywood to concentrate on a cause he founded in 2024. The Shameless Fund aims to assist LGBTQ+ people all over the world in living “freely and authentically.”
Speaking to GQ at the time, he said: “My acting career has been amazing and mind-blowing. But with everything happening in the world right now, I’ve decided to stop acting for a bit.”
He continued, “Over the next few months, I’ll be focusing on staffing and making sure we get all the right people in all the right places.”
Jonathan also emphasized how little charitable funding is provided to the LGBTQ+ community, continuing, “There is this statistic: only 1p of every £100 raised in the UK goes to the LGBTQ+ community. The Shameless Fund is exactly that, and you really have to dig to find solutions.
As well as his commitment to LGBTQ+ equality, his charitable work extends beyond his own set-up. He is a long-time supporter of Just Like Us, the charity behind the UK’s annual School Diversity Week.
The actor previously remarked, “School Diversity Week is a fantastic initiative that fosters the inclusive environment that every child deserves.” I wish I had School Diversity Week to remind me that it was acceptable to be myself as a child.
In Kyler Murray’s absence, the Arizona Cardinals defeated the Dallas Cowboys 27-17.
The 32-year-old put a five-game losing streak on the Cardinals’ home team in Arlington, Texas, by throwing for two touchdowns and running for a score.
Murray is still unable to play football because of a foot injury, so Brissett was chosen for a third straight week.
“That’s what we do,” the statement read. Brissett remarked, “It’s difficult to win in the NFL.”
“Wining on the road is more difficult. When things don’t go your way and you’re pushed elsewhere and stuff like that, it’s difficult.
You just have to rely on the work, as the saying goes goes, “When you don’t look for the results, the results come out.”
Despite his performance, Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon said that Murray’s decision to be the first choice once he recovers has not changed.
Trey McBride registered his own catch, while Marvin Harrison recorded a career-high seven catches for 96 yards, including a four-yarder for the game’s first touchdown.

Atalanta succumbed to Udinese in a rather unspectacular affair on Saturday afternoon, losing their first serie A game. Munich, Bayern defeated Bayer Leverkusen 3-3 in a decisive match a few hours later.
Although these two events may seem unrelated, Bayern is the only team in Europe with no defeat in the top five leagues. With only four goals conceded, they have a 100% start in the Bundesliga. Nine wins out of nine games have been won.
Looking back at the previous three seasons, one might say that the Bundesliga doesn’t pose a threat to Bayern, but when Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen were in opposition, to the point where they won the title in the final minutes of the 2022-23 season and lost it to Leverkusen a year later.
The reason Bayern’s coaching office appeared to have a sliding door for some time. The current manager, Vincent Kompany, extended his contract until 2029 two weeks ago, making him the first Bayern boss since Louis van Gaal did so in 2010.
Before Kompany’s arrival, the managerial position had been lacking in continuity and length. And the Belgian undoubtedly appeared to be a likely replacement for bringing back the emotion.
Bayern’s higher-ups and fans, who have the aspiration that their team belongs among the best in the world, were disappointed by their continued success winning championships under Julian Nagelsmann, Thomas Tuchel, and others.

Kompany’s selection of the starting lineup for Bayern’s victory over Leverkusen was frightful. Lennart Karl, a 17-year-old attacking midfielder with an incredible left foot, was one of his bench players who was used to help him choose his best players, rather than Harry Kane and others.
As their team-mates defeated Leverkusen’s defense, Kane, Olise, and Diaz watched from the sidelines. At half-time, Bayern really took their foot off the gas before leading 3-0.
After the departures of Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, and Granit Xhaka, Leverkusen still needs to rebuild their team, despite the fact that they only recently fired manager Erik ten Hag. No one expected such a level of dominance in the game, despite this.
Bayern have already defeated their top three rivals, Dortmund and RB Leipzig, with their victory over Leverkusen.
Although Leipzig has only lost by five points to Bayern on the first matchday, Kompany’s side may concentrate a little more on the challenges that lie ahead in the Champions League.
tactic reflections of Guardiola
At the end of his career, Manchester City legend Kompany spent three seasons under Pep Guardiola. And Guardiola can be seen clearly in how the former centre-back and his assistants approach ball possession and how they arrange attacking plays. The key to allowing the ball to move almost effortlessly is through strategic play and the formation’s rotation.
Kompany had already attempted to introduce positional patterns by requiring players to occupy specific zones or lanes, but this year, players rotate from zone to zone more frequently, making it more difficult for defenses to cover without creating any gaps in the penalty area.
When it comes to Bayern’s offensive strategy, this is not entirely unheard of. After his arrival in 2013, Guardiola himself adopted similar patterns, but despite making real progress, he was unable to make the Champions League final. Joshua Kimmich, one of the most promising German players at the time, was added to Guardiola’s three-year contract at the time.
Kimmich may have an explanation for why Bayern now appears even more fearsome than it did then because he is still with them.
“It was incredible individual quality when I first started ten years ago. He said on Saturday, “We had 23, 24, 25, world-class players.”
Kane continues to be a powerful representative.

Regardless of success, Kane in particular embodies a form of humility.
The England captain has already scored 22 goals in 15 games for the club this season, making no display of arrogance. He is the top scorer in the Bundesliga.
Kane has attempted 30 shots this season in the Bundesliga, which is the division’s highest total with Diaz.
During the summer, reports about Bayern’s internal turmoil emerged, with Max Eberl, the club’s transfer manager, at the forefront. All the noise vanished once the season began and the team started to perform at such a high level under the direction of a responsible manager.
Bayern’s chances of losing the Champions League are uncertain, with some possibilities coming up on Tuesday.
