“So my first in-person meeting, knowing that I was going to play Fiyero, was with the guy that made my ‘Dancing Through Life’ boots,” he recalled in a video that was shared on Wicked‘s Instagram account. “I think I flew over on a Tuesday, and then I was filming Bridgerton on the Wednesday to Saturday, and, as I got there, nothing arrived. So all I had was my Fiyero boots.”
He continued, teasing, “There’s an amazing photo that no one’s ever gonna see of me in nothing but my boots, which sort of felt right for Fiyero somehow.”
In a recent interview, Jonathan confirmed that the photo exists, saying that he wanted to “document” the first time that he tried on the costume.
“I’ve also locked my iCloud,” he said, adding that it now had two-factor authentication. The clip of the interview went viral on Instagram.
The revelation comes just a few weeks after Jonathan shared a cheeky photo of himself not wearing any pants!
The first part of the Wicked movies premieres in theaters on November 22. Watch the latest trailer.
