After several years of back-to-back projects, Jonathan Bailey says he’s ready to take some time off from acting.

During a Wednesday interview with British GQ, Bailey reflected on the most recent years of his career, noting, “I’ve been working solidly for about three years now, which has been amazing and mind-blowing.”

However, the actor shared that there was a change of pace on the horizon, adding, “But with everything happening in the world right now, I’m going to stop acting for a bit next year and just focus on the Shameless Fund.”

“Over the next few months, I’ll be focusing on staffing and making sure we get all the right people in all the right places,” he said. “There’s this statistic: out of every £100 raised in the UK, only 1p goes to the LGBTQ+ community. You really have to dig to find solutions, and I genuinely think The Shameless Fund is exactly that.”

Bailey founded The Shameless Fund in June 2024, a charity that aims to raise money for LGBTQ+ initiatives.
