Scarlett Johansson's Kiss Heard 'Round the World: Colin Jost Speaks Out!
SCARLETT JOHANSSON SETS THE INTERNET ABUZZ WITH MULTIPLE PDA'S WITH CO-STAR JONATHAN BAILEY ON RED CARPET
The usually private lives of Hollywood's elite are often subject to scrutiny, and the latest drama has everyone talking. Scarlett Johansson, 40, and her husband Colin Jost, 43, have been making headlines for their seemingly perfect marriage, but a recent series of PDA's with co-star Jonathan Bailey on the red carpet has left many wondering if something is amiss in their relationship.
The first kiss between Scarlett and Jonathan, who stars alongside each other in the latest installment of the Jurassic Park franchise, "Jurassic World: Rebirth," happened at the London premiere on June 17. The friends-turned-co-stars locked lips in front of photographers, sparking a flurry of headlines and social media buzz. But that was just the beginning – they shared another kiss just days later at the New York premiere on June 23.
Colin Jost, who has been married to Scarlett since October 2020, finally broke his silence on the PDA's, playfully joking with Entertainment Tonight that he needs to get in on the action. However, when asked if he felt threatened by Jonathan's advances towards his wife, Colin reassured fans that he didn't see it as a threat.
"Jonathan and I, at the ['Jurassic World Rebirth'] red carpet, we were like, 'I guess we have to kiss now? Is that what happens?'" Colin chuckled. "I mean, in Jurassic Park terms, the attack always comes from the raptor you never thought was there. Of all the threats out there, I wasn't thinking it was Jonathan."
But when pressed about his feelings towards Jonathan's intentions with his wife, Colin downplayed any concerns. "I think it's going to be okay," he said confidently.
The couple, who share a three-year-old son Cosmo and Scarlett's 10-year-old daughter Rose from a previous relationship, have been together since May 2017 after Scarlett hosted Saturday Night Live for the fifth time. Colin proposed two years later, and they tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at their New York home.
Jonathan Bailey, who has been open about his sexuality, was asked about the PDA's with Scarlett during a previous interview with The Scholarly Note. "I believe in being able to show love in all different ways," he said candidly. "And if you can't kiss your friends... life's too short not to."
The tension surrounding their on-screen and off-screen romance has left many fans wondering – is there something more brewing between Scarlett and Jonathan? The two co-stars have undeniable chemistry, both on and off the screen.
As it turns out, their on-screen partnership in "Jurassic World: Rebirth" is just as intense as their real-life PDA's. In the film, Scarlett plays the lead role of Zora Bennett, a covert operation expert who protects her teammates on a life-threatening mission to obtain the DNA of the most ferocious beasts at the site of the now-destroyed research facility for the original Jurassic Park.
The movie follows five years after the events of "Jurassic World Dominion," where the planet's ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived.
Scarlett, who has previously expressed her childhood dream of starring in a Jurassic Park movie, couldn't contain her excitement when talking about the script. "The script is so incredible," she gushed to ComicBook.com last year. "David Koepp wrote it, and I think he's done an amazing job."
With the film hitting theaters on July 2, fans are eagerly awaiting the next installment of the franchise. But for now, they can't help but focus on the juicy drama surrounding Scarlett and Jonathan's red carpet romance.
So, is Colin Jost oblivious to his wife's apparent flirtation with her co-star? Or is he just choosing to play it cool? One thing's for sure – this story is far from over. Stay tuned!
