In Depraved, Jonathan Bailey’s Fiyero dazzled us all together with his strikes in the course of the standout “Dancing Via Life” musical quantity. Nevertheless, he simply reminded us that he wasn’t at all times as easy as his character on the set of the film. As we watch for the Depraved: For Good launch date to reach, he just lately shared a joke concerning the time he was rehearsing with Ariana Grande and issues acquired completely awkward when he missed a step.
Jonathan Bailey has been a busy fellow in recent times, and simply forward of touchdown on set to play Fiyero for Depraved, he was taking pictures Bridgerton and Fellow Vacationers, and he didn’t have a lot time to prep. Right here’s a joke the actor advised GQ about dancing by means of life with Ariana Grande:
I bear in mind having 4 hours to learn to do a dance transfer. I did it with Ari, headbutted her, and was like, ‘Gotta go!’ I believe she might need even headbutted me, but it surely was a gathering of minds, actually.
Bailey is so fast on his toes in Depraved, one would by no means know he solely had a brief period of time to arrange for the film’s massive dance numbers. I’m undoubtedly laughing over his response to headbutting world pop star and our Glinda, Ariana Grande, as a result of it seems like he acquired tremendous embarrassed and needed to peace out as quickly because it occurred. I am unable to say I blame him for zooming away, and I suppose even the Bridgerton star can get embarrassed!
It’s a joke, however issues like this must be a part of the job, particularly when you will have the schedule Jonathan Bailey did previous to his Independence Day-like expertise touchdown on the set of the Depraved films.
Bailey mentioned he joined the film after participating in simply three days of rehearsals. And beforehand, Ariana Grande shared that he was studying the choreography on his days off taking pictures Bridgerton simply earlier than he got here onto the units of Depraved. He would fly in simply to have a dance rehearsal after which return to the Bridgerton set earlier than formally settling into Oz for the shoot.
Fiyero’s dancing in Depraved is unquestionably one of many many highlights of the primary film, particularly with regards to that rotating library in “Dancing Via Life,” which proved to be one of many extra technically difficult scenes within the first film. Nevertheless, it appears like we’re going to need to maintain that scene shut after seeing the Depraved: For Good trailer, as a result of it indicators a significant tonal shift for all of the characters. Have a look beneath:
Slightly than Fiyero merely being the charismatic prince that will get the scholars of Shiz to interrupt some guidelines and exit dancing, in For Good he’s grow to be the Captain of the Wizard’s Guard who’s nonetheless caught in a love triangle between Glinda and Elphaba. Thank goodness Depraved: For Good is among the many 2025 film releases! The film hits theaters on November 21.
Within the meantime, I will simply be picturing Jonathan Bailey and Ariana Grande headbutting and the actor promptly operating away after it occurred.
