Jonathan Bailey, recently crowned Sexiest Man Alive, looked to be in high spirits as he stepped onto the red carpet at the New York premiere of Wicked: For Good on Monday.

The 37-year-old actor, best known for his breakout global role as Lord Anthony Bridgerton, is now gearing up for the highly anticipated sequel, which is set to land in UK cinemas on November 21.

The highlight of the event was that he was also gifted his very own Lego mini-figure, styled exactly like his now-iconic magazine cover.

“That is so good,” he laughed, admitting the cold weather had him feeling “cold and emotional” and soon to be as “soggy” as the cover that inspired the toy.

Bailey, a self-confessed Lego lover, previously told PEOPLE that building a Lego set is one of his perfect date ideas, and even joked that “doesn’t like Lego” is a genuine deal-breaker.

The star, who plays prince Fiyero in the Wicked franchise, is gearing up for the explosive sequel, which picks up with Ariana Grande’s Glinda basking in newfound fame while Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba hides in exile, fighting for justice in Oz.

Notably, his castmates were quick to celebrate his Sexiest Man Alive title, with Grande reposting his cover and Erivo declaring, “Now the world knows what I’ve known all along.”

The cast even filmed a playful tribute video wearing sweatshirts printed with his photos.

Despite his blockbuster rise, from Wicked to Jurassic World Rebirth, he recently revealed he’ll soon take a step back to focus on his charity, The Shameless Fund.
