The star explains why he plans to ‘stop acting for a bit’: inside his next move.

From Bridgerton to Wicked to Jurassic Park, Jonathan Bailey has stayed booked and busy.
“I’ve been working solidly for about three years now, which has been amazing and mind-blowing,” Bailey, 37, told British GQ in an interview published on Wednesday, September 3. “With everything happening in the world right now, I’m going to stop acting for a bit next year and just focus on the Shameless Fund.”
Bailey launched the Shameless Fund foundation in 2024, with the intention of supporting the LGBTQIA+ community. (Bailey himself is openly queer.)
“Around the world, anti-LGBTQ+ laws are on the increase,” a website description reads. “We’re raising cash through global brand collaborations to power up international, national and grassroots nonprofits to forge a world where every LGBTQ+ person can live authentically, love freely and thrive without the burdens of discrimination, oppression or shame.”
