Jonathan Bailey opened up about his secret role in the making of his new film, Jurassic World Rebirth.

The Bridgerton actor is set to share the big screen with Scarlet Johansson as Zora Bennett and Mahershala Ali as Duncan Kincaid.

In his appearance at The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the Wicked star revealed that he played clarinet for the score of the film.

Calling his inclusion in the score, he said that "the highlight of my career."

Bailey recalled tagging along with the film’s director Gareth Edwards to the famed Abby Road Studios in London "just to watch" the maestro Alexander Desplat record the score, which infuses elements of John Williams' iconic Jurassic Park score in homage to the original films.

Despite his initial intentions of just being at the studio to watch the making of background music, as the week progressed Bailey came back and asked if can also bring his clarinet.

He recalled, "Because I played the clarinet at school. I just wanted to play one like even if it was one slightly sharp note in a John Williams score. It would’ve been my dream come true."

The Fellow Travelers artist went on to unwittingly impress Desplat with his skills and was asked if would like to join the orchestra. 

However, Bailey initially declined the offer fearing messing up the score and getting unnerved by the thought of playing alongside such impressive musicians despite knowing that he would "regret that [decision] for the rest of my life."

Desplat then encouraged the 37-year-old artist saying that it is "now or never."

"I said OK and ended up playing the theme of Dr. Henry Loomis, my character," Bailey said.

The Jurassic World Rebirth is set to premiere on July 2.
