It's Fiyero Friday! In a new video posted to the official Wicked movie account, Fiyero actor Jonathan Bailey recalled a humorous story from the set of the upcoming film featuring his now-infamous dancing boots.
"I think I flew over on a Tuesday and was filming Bridgerton on Wednesday through Saturday," the actor explained in the video. "And then, as I got there, nothing [had] arrived. All I had was my Fiyero boots." The actor wears the shoes during the Dancing Through Life sequence, among other scenes.
He goes on to reveal that there is a photo (which he emphasizes will never be seen) of himself wearing only those boots. It "sort of felt right for Fiyero somehow," the actor added. The video also features some new moments with the character, along with Glinda and Elphaba. Watch it below!
