Jonathan Bailey is no stranger to turning heads, but his latest spotlight moment came with a fun twist. During a Wicked press junket, Pedestrian TV’s Laura Masia introduced Bailey and his co-star Jeff Goldblum to the internet’s favorite title: “zaddy.”
The term, describing a stylish, confident man with major appeal, instantly amused Bailey. However, the two actors playfully debated who fit the label better. They agreed Goldblum holds the “zaddy” crown, while Bailey claimed the title of “daddy.”
“How many kids do you have?” Goldblum teased.
“Nine! All the same age,” Bailey quipped back.
Honestly, we think they both nail the zaddy vibe!
