Superman and Fiyero come together in the perfect Interview for Variety
Jonathan Bailey and David Corenswet sat down for their Variety’s Actors on Actors chat, and the chemistry was palpable from the start. The interview, which dropped on December 7, 2025, had the duo talking about their careers and their most recent roles on the big screen. David Corwenset stepped into the cape earlier this year with Superman, the summer blockbuster directed by James Gunn. Meanwhile, Jonathan Bailey turned into a massive heartthrob in Wicked For Good as Prince Fiyero.
Mutual admiration that turns into kissing congratulations
The most endearing moment came when David congratulated Jonahtan on his performance in Wicked For Good and pointed out that Bailey literally flies. Jonathan responded with excitement, saying that they both kissed while levitating on their most recent hit movies. The Superman actor took that theme to praise Jonathan for keeping his masculine presence even while being lifted by Cynthia Erivo (Elphaba) in the film. Making things sweeter, the Wicked star admitted that he loved David’s kiss at the end of Superman.
“… you are carried by Cynthia. She’s levitating you. Every man out there would think there’s no way you can look masculine and powerful and in control when you’re being levitated by a woman. And you, in that moment when she’s lifting you by your fucking massive arms, maintained your masculinity. Well done, mate. Because it’s a lot easier when you’re carrying the girl,” David Cornswet confessed.

Their chat blended admiration with playful chemistry, which has fans completely melting on social media. But the best part was the end of the interview! As both actors stood up and said their goodbyes, David playfully asked Jonathan, “Should we kiss or something?” And the Internet knows that a finale like that would’ve made every user combust! And while the making-out moment didn’t happen, both artists definitely shone together as two of the most handsome actors of 2025.
