Jonathan Bailey Reveals How He Got ‘Heartstopper’ Role

Jonathan Bailey

‘Bridgerton’ and ‘Fellow Travelers’ star Jonathan Bailey talks about his short but sweet cameo role in the queer series ‘Heartstopper’.

Weeks of speculation hounded the ‘Heartstopper’ community when Jonathan Bailey’s photos donning his Jack Maddox outfit spread online. But after the production company officially announced Bailey’s involvement in the web novel turned series, the news was met with much fervor. Bailey talks about how special the series is to him in an interview with Variety, saying, “Like so many people, I watched the first [season] and thought it was one of the biggest, most beautiful gifts to so many people, and I wish I had that growing up.”

The ‘Bridgerton’ heartthrob goes on to explain how he got the cameo role by reaching out to the show’s executive producer, Patrick Walters. He reached out to him and said he wanted to be a part of that story, and the rest was history! Jonathan Bailey will be making a cameo as the famous author (and Charlie’s crush), Jack Maddox.

Bailey went on to praise ‘Heartstopper’ saying that the series “really changed the way people could grow and communicate around who they are”. Bailey, who is also openly gay, acknowledged that the series definitely helped not only the LGBTQ+ community but it’s also “for every person who is a member of a family who has a member of the LGBT+ community.”

Are you excited to see Jonathan Bailey in the newest ‘Heartstopper’ series?

Heartstopper season 3 will premiere this coming October on Netflix.
