A lot of fans are likely looking forward to the release of Jurassic World Rebirth next week. Many of them may be especially excited to see the next big role by Wicked star Jonathan Bailey. We’ll get to see a different side of him in the sci-fi action adventure, but it turns out we’ll also hear a different side of him in the film’s score.

He manifested that dream because a clarinet solo eventually came up. Though Bailey admitted he was at initially hesitant and declined Desplat’s offer to play he then changed his mind because he would regret not taking him up on the offer for “the rest of my life.”

Jonathan Bailey, who catapulted to fame in Bridgerton, wooed musical theater fans everywhere in 2024’s Wicked and this June checks a prerequisite heartthrob box of playing a nerdy paleontologist in Jurassic World Rebirth, will only earn more nerd cred with the release of a new behind-the-scenes look at his dino sequel.
