Colin Jost Reacts to Scarlett Johansson's Co-Star Kiss

Colin Jost Remains Calm Amid Scarlett Johansson's Red Carpet Moment

Colin Jost, the husband of renowned actress Scarlett Johansson, seems unfazed by the recent viral moment involving his wife and co-star Jonathan Bailey. The incident occurred during a red carpet event for Jurassic World Rebirth, where the two shared a kiss on the lips. Despite the attention it garnered, Jost has handled the situation with a sense of ease, even hinting at possible plans for retaliation.

Jost and Johansson tied the knot in 2020 after a three-year relationship. They are now parents to two children, and their partnership has remained strong despite the occasional public spectacle. Jost has made it clear that he doesn’t see Bailey as a threat to his marriage. In fact, he noted that Bailey is openly gay, which makes any romantic overtones between him and Johansson unlikely.

During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Jost joked about the situation, saying: “Jonathan and I, at the Jurassic World Rebirth red carpet, we were like, ‘I guess we have to kiss now? Is that what happens?’” He added, “In Jurassic Park terms, the attack always comes from the raptor you never thought was there.”

A Unique Way to Show Affection

The unusual display of affection between Johansson and Bailey sparked conversations among fans and media alike. The two actors kissed on the lips during the premieres of the film in London and New York City. When asked about the reason behind the gesture, Bailey explained that he believes showing love through physical affection is important. “And if you can't kiss your friends… life's too short not to,” he said.

Johansson also made a striking appearance at the event, wearing a white Givenchy dress with a sweetheart neckline and a ruffled skirt. Jost matched her style with a white suit, creating a coordinated look that drew attention.

Bonding Through Film Challenges

The connection between Johansson and Bailey wasn’t built overnight. Their bond formed during the filming of Jurassic World Rebirth in Malta, where they faced challenging conditions. The extreme heat and humidity forced them to rely on each other for support. They spent time together during group dinners, often laughing and sharing moments of joy.

Johansson reflected on the experience, noting that the lack of rehearsal time made it essential to enjoy the moments they had. “We didn’t have much time to rehearse on this film. So just having the opportunity to spend as much time as we could doing stuff that was enjoyable was important,” she said.

A Love Story That Started on Set

Jost and Johansson first met in 2006 when she hosted an episode of Saturday Night Live. At the time, Jost was part of the writer’s room. Their relationship blossomed years later, and they became romantically linked in 2017 during the SNL season finale. Although Jost hasn’t spoken publicly about the details of their early relationship, he has emphasized that discussions about his private life do not bother him.

The couple officially became engaged in 2018 with a $450,000 engagement ring. They married in 2020 in an intimate ceremony surrounded by close friends and family. For Johansson, this marriage has been a positive experience, as she feels they share a similar perspective on life. “I didn’t know what I wanted or needed from somebody else. I think identifying those things was a game-changer for me,” she said.

A Hilarious Moment on SNL

Earlier in the year, Johansson found herself on the receiving end of a joke during a Saturday Night Live episode. She joined her husband, Jost, and co-host Michael Che for a joke swap segment. Jost delivered a particularly bold line written by Che, which included a reference to Johansson’s pregnancy. The line read: “Costco has removed the roast beef sandwich from its menu. But I ain’t trippin’. I’ve been eating roast beef every night since my wife had the kid.”

Although she was warned about a potential joke about her body, Johansson was taken aback by the delivery. During the show, her reaction was captured on camera, and in a later interview, she admitted she felt the ground was about to open up beneath her.

Despite the unexpected moment, the evening ended on a positive note. Both Jost and Johansson laughed about the experience, highlighting their ability to find humor in any situation.

A Relationship Built on Trust

Colin Jost and Scarlett Johansson continue to demonstrate that trust and mutual respect can thrive in even the most unpredictable circumstances. Whether it’s navigating the spotlight or handling jokes on live television, the couple remains united and focused on their shared future.
