Celebrity showdown: Jonathan Bailey vs. Taron Egerton

There's an interesting new play in London's West End called Cock.

It stars two hotties: Jonathan Bailey and Taron Egerton. Bailey plays John, a man who identifies as gay, and is happy in himself and with his boyfriend, played by Egerton. But he ends up meeting "the woman of his dreams" and begins to question his sexuality.

“It’s the story of a young gay couple who have been together for a number of years,” Egerton said on the Graham Norton Show. “They end up taking a break – it’s very Ross and Rachel.

“One of them sleeps with somebody else and it transpires that that person is a woman. And what happens is they all try to get together and have a chat about it. It’s very, very funny and actually very moving."

Jonathan Baily

Jonathan Bailey, 33, is a British actor who has appeared in several hit TV shows, Broadchurch to Bridgerton. Openly gay, he was initially warned not to come out as it would ruin his career. He has certainly proven that advice was wrong.
