Oxfordshire's Bridgerton star Jonathan Bailey has been spotted sipping a Martini in Italy.

The actor is originally from Wallingford and is known for a variety of parts including Wicked, Jurassic World Rebirth and TV drama Broadchruch.

Yet he is perhaps best known for playing the role of Lord Anthony Bridgerton in the popular Netflix show, Bridgerton.

Mr Bailey has now been spotted holidaying in Italy's Puglia, cutting a relaxed figure while enjoying a drink.

These shots of the star have been making a stir on socials, with several fans saying “Oh to be drinking a Martini with Jonathan Bailey”.

Others have made parallels to his Jurassic Park glasses after spotting him rocking a fresh pair of sunnies.

In recent years, Mr Bailey has been linked to the iconic role of James Bond following the departure of Daniel Craig in 2021.

The second season of Bridgerton broke the streaming service's viewing records, showing immense public interest in the Oxfordshire star.

This week, fellow actor Theo James, born in Oxford, has been linked to the spy role, being outlined as the second favourite with odds at 2/1.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson currently leads the race for the legendary part according to multiple reports.
