Jonathan Bailey is taking a step back from his acting career for a meaningful cause close to his heart.
The 37-year-old English actor, who is known for his exceptional contribution in dramatic, comedic and musical roles on stage and screen, has sent the internet into a frenzy with his latest decision.
In a conversation with GQ, Bailey said he is planning to "stop acting for a bit" next year as he wants to focus on his non-profit organization, The Shameless Fund.
"I’ve been working solidly for about three years now, which has been amazing and mind-blowing," the Bridgerton actress noted.
The Wicked starlet further added, "But 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."
For those unaware, the Crashing actor launched in mid-2024, which supports LGBTQ+ causes through creative and meaningful brand collaborations.
Bailey has raised money with celebrity and brand partnerships, including his Drink Your Milk t-shirt designed by a character, raising money for non-profits around the world to end anti-LBGTQ laws.
On a professional front, Jonathan Bailey will next appear in his upcoming film, Wicked: For Good, the second instalment of the movie musical adaptation, which premieres on November 21 in theatres.
