He quipped: “I think she might have even headbutted me, but it was a meeting of minds, literally.”
Fortunately, despite the literal tête-à-tête, he and the “Twilight Zone” singer went on to forge a strong friendship, at one point even attending Wimbledon together during their Wicked downtime.
Last year, Jonathan spoke candidly about the toll that shooting multiple projects at the same time took on one particular aspect of his appearance.
He claimed that having a perm for Bridgerton and a straight do for Fellow Travellers left his hair “looking like coral” – and as a result, he had to sport a “big old toupée” to play Fiyero in Wicked.
“I’m in the choreography so it’s flapping about!” he joked to Variety during an Actors On Actors interview with Naomi Watts.
Wicked For Good sees Jonathan once again sharing the screen with the likes of Cynthia Erivo, Jeff Goldblum and Michelle Yeoh, in the movie adaptation of the stage musical’s second act.
The first trailer for the sequel was released on Wednesday night, ahead of its worldwide release on Friday 21 November.
