We all can agree we had a hard time choosing between Viscount, Simon, or Benedict while binge-watching ‘Bridgerton‘. All the characters in the show suited their roles with perfectly fitted dresses altered for their body only. No wonder ‘Bridgerton‘ served as a Regency drama with a modern touch to it.
Jonathan Bailey aka Lord Anthony Bridgerton gets candid about the characters in the show. His sexual appeal gained a lot of light from the public and now he says that the sole motive of characters in the show was to “turn people on”.

Jonathan Bailey On Not Being A Heartthrob Before His Role In ‘Bridgerton‘
‘Bridgerton’ characters did capture our hearts with their amazing performances and different personas. The 36-year-old character, Jonathan Bailey during an interview with The Guardian said that the characters were made to turn on the people.
“It’s Bridgerton, I think,” he said. “These characters have been created to serve a purpose, to turn people on, I suppose” the actor continued. Moreover, Bailey doesn’t consider himself as the heartthrob in Regency era roles, but look at him now.
It’s the ‘Bridgerton‘ magic that he’s now a potential heartthrob of many. Furthermore, he also talked about his LGBTQ series called ‘Fellow Travelers’, where he plays the role of a gay man who’s hiding his sexuality. Talking about his work, Bailey says that sex is very important during the making of his series.
Bailey said, “If you’re going to explore the oppression – and these people lost their lives, their jobs, their families – then the other side of that is the extreme need for connection, but also the celebration of the sexual act that supposedly deems them ‘unacceptable’.”
