In the new trailer for "Bridgerton" Season 2, fans got their first look at the new storylines that will be unfolding on the show. As fans know, each season will focus on a different member of the Bridgerton clan and this season's focus will be on Anthony Bridgerton, played by Jonathan Bailey (via E! News). The steamy trailer gives fans their first look at Anthony's love life, something the actor behind the character chose to keep private in his real life for so long.
Recently, Bailey opened up about his struggle to embrace his sexuality in the public eye. After his friend told him about his experience auditioning for roles, Bailey told GQ the process of becoming an actor while queer was difficult. "At the time he was told, "There's two things we don't want to know: If you're an alcoholic or if you're gay."
He continued, "All it takes is for one of those people in that position of power to say that, and it ripples through. So, yeah, of course I thought that. Of course, I thought that in order to be happy, I needed to be straight."
Now, thankfully, Bailey is more comfortable being himself in the entertainment industry. "I reached a point where I thought, 'F*** this.' I'd much prefer to hold my boyfriend's hand in public or be able to put my own face picture on Tinder and not be so concerned about that, than getting a part."
