Hollywood heartthrobs Jonathan Bailey and David Corenswet compare their experiences.
During the conversation he had Diversity, the duo realized they both had a similar scene in the 2025 films Evil: Forever and Superman.
In Superman, Corenswet plays the iconic Man of Steel, while Bailey plays the handsome Prince Fiyero in the sequel Wicked. Both roles involve romantic plots and very similar love scenes.
“We're both kissing while levitating!” – Bailey noted.
“Yes. But you have a more serious task ahead of you. As a man and as a sexy man – and that's not me saying,” Corenswet responded, citing Bailey's title as People's Sexiest Man Alive for 2025.
The Politician star then noted that it's harder to kiss someone in the air when they're carrying you.
“Cynthia (Erivo) carries you. She levitates you. Any man would think that it is impossible to look masculine, powerful and in control when being levitated by a woman. And you, at that moment when she lifts you up by your damn massive arms, retained your masculinity. Well done, mate,” he said. “Because it’s much easier when you’re carrying a girl.”
“I mean, look, if I could, I'd be carried by both Cynthia and Ari (Ariana Grande) for the rest of my life,” Bailey responded.
The “Bridgerton” star then brought up Corenswet's kiss in “Superman” and said he was especially taken by the moment when Corenswet chuckles after co-star Rachel Brosnahan, who plays Lois Lane, says she loves him.
But Corenswet explained that he had to fight to keep the laughs in the film because director James Gunn didn't really like it.
“He came to me and said, 'This isn't working. It should be solemn,” recalls Corenswet. “I said, 'No! The whole point is that I fucking know you love me.” Thanks James. He was right 90% of everything, but in this he saw that laughter is a very true thing.”
“That's what makes the leading man knock it out of the park,” Bailey responded.
