Jonathan Bailey, a star in Bridgerton and Scarlett Johansson, will appear in the new movie alongside Mahershala Ali and Scarlett Johansson.
Actor Jonathan Bailey has teased that he risked his life whilst working on Jurassic World Rebirth. He’s revealed that he filmed alongside potentially lethal snakes for his role but shared his excitement over the experience.
Jonathan, 37 – known for his roles in Bridgerton and more recently Wicked – said he was told that the serpents could kill him within seconds on the set of the Jurassic World film, which is set to be released next month. He’s shared that he was instructed on safety measures to avoid a fatal encounter.
As reported by the Daily Star, Jonathan recalled: “When you’re making a movie, you want to feel the world of the movie as much as possible.” He went on to say that he worked on scenes in snake-infested waters for the project.
He continued, “And my gosh, do you feel it in snake-infested waters? Snake wranglers are positioned to protect you, but they also say things like “be careful around this one.” In ten seconds, if you get bit, you die.
He remarked, “That kind of moment speaks to the visceral thrills that Jurassic movies are all about,” and that he was excited about joining the franchise. That kind of experience on a set was unlike anything I’ve ever had. I hope the movie matches its excitement and that it was all very exciting.
Jonathan suggested that he didn’t shy away from stunts whilst on location in Thailand. Describing one intense scene from the production, as reported by the outlet, he said that his “inner child” was “screaming with delight”.
He said, “We had to film a scene where my character must pull someone back into a boat because she’s falling off the side.” My inner child, who wasn’t all that inner, was just screaming with delight as I had water cannons blasting at me and the boat flipping around.
Jonathan stars as palaeontologist Dr Henry Loomis in Jurassic World Rebirth, which is the seventh instalment in the long-running film franchise that previously starred Chris Pratt. He leads the cast with Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali.
Jonathan has stated that he enjoyed getting to play the character. He remarked about his role in Jurassic World Rebirth, saying, “It was very enjoyable to play Henry, who embodies our deepest admiration for nature.”
This is Jonathan’s most recent prominent role in his career. He has appeared in Wicked (2024) as Fiyero Tigelaar in recent years. In Wicked: For Good (2025), which is scheduled to be released in November, he will reprise his role.
Jonathan is also known for playing Lord Anthony Bridgerton in Netflix series Bridgerton. The show launched on the streaming platform in 2020 and his character was the focus of the second season, which aired in 2022.
He teases that he has long been a fan of Jurassic Park after being first introduced to the series as a child. He claimed that my parents had made a questionable decision because I was five when my family took me to Jurassic Park. It was a sumptuous escapist delight because the characters were so vivid.
