Video: Jonathan Bailey Calls Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo 'Amazing Talents' on THE TONIGHT SHOW

Jonathan Bailey, who will be playing the character of Fiyero in the two-part film adaptation of Wicked, stopped by The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on Monday to discuss his upcoming projects which include Bridgerton, Jurassic World, and Wicked.

Last week, Bailey attended the Met Gala with his co-stars Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Michelle Yeoh, and Jeff Goldblum. As Grande and Erivo went on stage to perform, Bailey recalled sitting with his castmates and thinking "'Oh my god, we've been so spoiled to see those two amazing talents [Grande and Erivo] together.' We've seen what they've been doing backstage," the Olivier Award-Winner added.

"I saw Cynthia as well, and she was particularly twinkly that night. I was like, 'Hang on a minute, something's brewing,'" Bailey said, before she performed for those in attendance.
