Known for his charm and talent, Bailey, who recently starred in <em>Jurassic World: Rebirth<\/em> with Scarlett Johansson, shared the news in an interview with GQ.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that he wants to focus fully on his nonprofit, The Shameless Fund, which supports the LGBTQ+ community. \u201cI\u2019ve been working solidly for about three years now, which has been amazing and mind-blowing,\u201d he said. \u201cBut with everything happening in the world right now, I\u2019m going to stop acting for a bit next year and just focus on the Shameless Fund.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bailey also shared that he plans to oversee the organization\u2019s staffing and operations, making sure the right people are in the right roles. He highlighted a striking statistic: out of every \u00a3100 raised in the U.K., only one penny goes to the LGBTQ+ community. He believes The Shameless Fund can help change that and provide real solutions.<\/p>\n<p>Even with his acting hiatus, Bailey will still appear as Anthony Bridgerton in season 4 of <em>Bridgerton<\/em>. While the main storyline will follow Benedict Bridgerton and Sophie, Anthony\u2019s brother\u2019s romance with Kate Sharma will also play a key role. Season 4 is set to release on digital platforms in 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jonathan Bailey surprised fans on Saturday by announcing that he plans to take a break from acting.
