Jonathan Bailey has sparked excitement among fans by teasing a surprising detail about his character Fiyero in Wicked: Part 2.

While conversing with CinemaBlend, the Bridgerton star revealed that for his character in Wicked, he wore blue contact lenses, which he called “Winkie Blue,” a nod to his character’s background — “will become clear in the second film.”

He also shared that the reward of it “will be worth it,” referring to a lyric from Act 2, a love duet between Fiyero and Elphaba, As Long As You’re Mine.

“There’s a lyric in the duet ... ‘You’ve got me seeing through different eyes,’” Bailey added, saying, “And so, that might give you an indicator of what happens later. So, there is a reason.”

However, Wicked hair, makeup, and prosthetics designer Frances Hannon explained the transformation on Jonathan van Ness’ Pretty Curious podcast.

She shared that the blue eyes are a tribute to his home village and overall colour palette, saying, “We made [his eyes] dark brown for the fields for when he becomes Scarecrow.”
