Colin Jost Finally Addresses Scarlett Johansson’s Viral Kissing Moments
Colin Jost has shared his thoughts on the viral kisses that took place on the red carpet between his wife, Scarlett Johansson, and Jonathan Bailey, both of whom starred in Jurassic World Rebirth.
In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Jost, a cast member of Saturday Night Live, discussed the media frenzy surrounding the film. He noted that he was surprised by how much attention the affectionate moments between the co-stars received.
With a touch of humor, Jost remarked, “In terms of Jurassic Park, the unexpected threat usually comes from the raptor you never anticipated. I certainly didn’t expect Jonathan to be that threat.”
He further pointed out how people sometimes blow situations out of proportion. “Imagine greeting a friend with a kiss; the reactions can be utterly ridiculous,” Jost said. “Jonathan is openly gay, which makes this seem like less of a concern. We both joked, ‘Well, I guess it’s our turn to kiss now!’ Perhaps that’s how things unfold?”
Jost’s lightheartedness reflects his perspective on the nature of celebrity interactions. The buzz became particularly noteworthy after Johansson and Bailey were seen kissing at movie premieres in London and New York earlier this month.
Following these events, Johansson appeared on the Today show, where she echoed Jost’s sentiments, explaining that their kisses were friendly and innocent. “He really is a lovable person; what can I say?” she remarked. “Everyone is just being friendly.”
While discussing the reactions online to their kisses, Johansson expressed, “Nothing shocks me anymore. In today’s world, I’m really not surprised by anything. But there’s a lot of love to give; that’s just me.”
