Sometimes when two celebrities come together, it's so magical, it might as well be a meet-cute.
Thanks to Variety and CNN, we may have just witnessed two people becoming best friends—and a dynamic musical duo—in the form of Superman's David Corenswet and 2025's Sexiest Man Alive, Jonathan Bailey.
Bailey and Corenswet completed an Actors on Actors interview, discussing everything from the latest Superman to Fiyero's transformation in Wicked: For Good to what it's like to become the year's Sexiest Man Alive.

The interview is an incredibly fun journey inside two funny, candid, and passionate actors' minds, but the sparks really began to fly when the pair were caught "off set" after their interview was over.
Bailey and Corenswet began to debrief on their conversation before diving into other juicy subjects, like their experiences with sudden fame as Superman and Fiyero.
But the pair really bonded and something magical happened when they realized they both were interested in future stage work, specifically musicals, and that they shared the same dream musical: High Society, a funny, romantic musical that explores true love, marrying out of convenience, and second chances at romance.
In their moment of shared excitement, Corenswet and Bailey began to sing some of their favorite lines from the musical before quipping about working on the project together and reconnecting with some of their colleagues, like Scarlett Johansson and Jeff Goldblum.

Viewers were tickled by the progression of Bailey and Corenswet's conversation and shared their favorite moments.
Bailey and Corenswet are both great examples of "theater kids" who are all grown up and who still enjoy talking about their craft while having fun on set.
Anyone who has experienced High Society knows that those are exactly the vibes it needs, making Bailey and Corenswet the perfect contenders to pull this project together. Of course, a little extra Jeff Goldblum never hurt a project, either.
