Jonathan Bailey isn't looking to have children just yet

Asked if he wants to have children, he told the upcoming issue of Britain's Esquire magazine: "There's obviously loads of kids that could really benefit from love and support.

"I have the absolute privilege of being a gay man - there's no biological clock. It's such a privilege, isn't it, to even be able to have a kid? So, I'm aware of it as an idea, as a concept, but it doesn't feel very loud in my head at the moment."

If he does have children, the 37-year-old star is unlikely to raise them in Hollywood because he has no desire to leave the UK.

He said: "I've never really thought about [living there].

"Every film I've done has not been filmed in America. In my 20s, people would go out to pilot season. And I was like, "I don't want to. I just don't want to do it." I can't explain anything more than it's just not for me."

But the Bridgerton star does love to travel.

He said: "I tell you what, I love travelling with work. Being in Toronto filming Fellow Travelers and going to the Muskoka Lakes. I got to experience different communities and attitudes.

"I worked in Johannesburg when I was 23 and then Cape Town the year after that and I went to Thailand last year.

"It's really bonding with the cast when you travel away.

"But this year I've been at home a lot more and I've been able to see my nieces at school, and I've been out to see my friends. I've been at more birthdays and weddings and that feels good. I'm yet to feel any need to move."

Jonathan finds the idea of AI technology being used in the acting industry "upsetting and distressing".

He said: "The idea of the human creative spirit being sidelined or annexed is really upsetting and distressing.

"One thing I found doing Shakespeare this year is that nothing felt more radical or engaged than being in a room with words and people, and being in the round. There was such a crackle in the air.

"It's radical now to get a pen and paper. I think there's going to be such value in that."
