Jonathan Bailey broke our hearts with the beautiful yet tragic love story in Fellow Travelers and now he’s set to do it again with his new gay romance Insomniac City. Bailey is taking on the role of photographer and author Bill Hayes in a drama based on his memoir about falling in love with famed neurologist Oliver Sacks, a man 30 years his senior, whom he ultimately lost to cancer. The gay romance will focus on Hayes’ beautiful age-gap, later-in-life relationship and his love affair with the city of New York. The film is still in the early stages, but the director has been selected, and the lead roles have been cast, so more information about the film is likely to follow. Who is starring in 'Insomniac City'? Bridgerton's Jonathan Bailey is starring as Bill Hayes, opposite Oscar nominee and BAFTA winner Bill Nighy (Love Actually), who will play his lover Oliver Sacks. Hayes and Dominic Cooke (On Chisel Beach), who is also directing the film, will co-write the adaptation of his memoir.
