Jonathan Bailey Has the Perfect Response to Scarlett Johansson's Red Carpet Kiss
THE RUNDOWN
Jonathan Bailey and Scarlett Johansson are sharing more than just screen time.
Yesterday, at the New York premiere of their upcoming summer blockbuster Jurassic World Rebirth, the co-stars shared a quick kiss on the red carpet.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, when Bailey was told that he 'might just be the luckiest guy on this red carpet tonight,' the Wicked star charmingly responded, 'Well, of course. Yes, absolutely.'
He continued, 'I believe in being able to show love in all different ways. And if you can't kiss your friends... life's too short not to.'
This isn't Bailey and Johansson's first red carpet kiss, though. They did the same thing last week at the London premiere on June 17.
When asked about the internet's obsession with the now-viral moment, Johansson laughed and said, 'People got some time [on their hands].' She then spoke about her onscreen chemistry with Bailey. 'The characters have a great relationship,' she told Access Hollywood, 'and ultimately, I think they really impact one another for the better.' The actress also said that she '100 percent' understands why Bailey always goes viral. 'I mean, I get it,' she said. 'I'm there.'
Jurassic World Rebirth also stars Mahershala Ali, Luna Blaise, and Rupert Friend. It'll hit theaters on July 2.

Top Jonathan Bailey Moments That Show His True Charm
Jonathan Bailey is having a great career run with back-to-back successes: Wicked, Bridgerton, Fellow Travelers, and now Jurassic World Rebirth, as the lead! And his online activity and interactions for his projects have caught the eyes of hundreds of fans. It's so thrilling to watch him succeed. Look, we all fell hard for his brooding lover era in Bridgerton (that eye contact? the angst?). But lately, Jonathan's been causing a full-blown internet meltdown with his chaotic but cute energy on press tours, interviews, and more. And I have to say—it has us HOOKED. So let's dive right into some of Jonathan's most endearing, wholesome, and chaotic moments on the internet, which are too good to miss! 1. When he gladly accepted the "sl*tty little glasses" move, while also crediting Blakely Thornton for this phenomenon. It's official: Jonathan Bailey admitted he knows about the trend and is going to support it. It's a win for us; we will get to see more of Jonathan in those little eyeglasses, and I cannot complain. Next, we need Andrew Garfield to also champion this, and the two of them need to become the ambassadors of this trend. And if you haven't already seen it, here is Jonathan rocking those tiny eyeglasses: It's a look. 2. When this friendly peck between him and Scarlett Johansson led to the internet melting—not once, but TWICE. God really does have his favorites, and these pictures prove it. And obviously, people were quick to react in the most relatable manner. 3. This sweet hug between Josh O'Connor and Jonathan Bailey got fans hyping up a possible collab between these two as co-leads of a film. Even though they interacted only for a photo shoot, that sweet hug between the two immediately sparked casting wishes amongst fans. And honestly, both of the actors are at the peak of their careers, and who wouldn't love to see them together in a film? The comments said all that needs to be said. If any Hollywood casting director is looking, this is the duo we need on-screen next! 4. The time he playfully took part in Alison Hammond's joke about safety rules in sex scenes and got her rightfully blushing throughout! Alison Hammond, a famous British TV presenter known for making celebrities and guests quite literally die with laughter, took her chances with Jonathan, and honestly, it was so relatable. And as always, Jonathan Bailey is charming in whatever he does—he's 90% perfect hair, 10% jawline, and 100% babygirl. I mean, who wouldn't like a demonstration by the one and only Anthony Bridgerton on practicing safety on set? You can watch the entire interview here! 5. When he casually dropped how he handpicked the prosthetic p*enis for Fellow Travelers—and it's King behavior, honestly. I have quite literally never seen a man approach prosthetic p*nis selection with this much emotional depth and Oscar-worthy intention. Jonathan Bailey turned it into a full-on art form. This is exactly why I signed up to be his fan. So humble and iconic. 6. When he wore these shorts for the Wicked premiere and sent the internet into a frenzy. Men in short shorts is not new, with Paul Mescal and Josh O'Connor rocking shorts in paparazzi pictures. But we didn't know Jonathan Bailey would rock this look so effortlessly. But then again, how could he not? And once again, he has managed to rile up both straight and gay people on the internet. Although the dig at Jeff Goldblum is unwarranted, this X user summarized all the fans' wishes in one sentence. I could always listen to these two belting out vocals. Seeing these two is like pure dopamine—it always makes my day to see two icons having the best chemistry at their press tours. 8. And saving the best for last: when he wore flip-flops to the Jurassic World Rebirth premiere, and now we have some glorious feet pictures of Jonathan Bailey. Flip-flops at a premiere? Only Jonathan Bailey can pull it off. It got photographers clicking snaps of his feet, and now the internet is flooded with them (for free as well). Looking effortlessly cool is not learned but inherited, and Jonathan has aced it. Jonathan Bailey's success is only beginning, which means we will be seeing a lot more precious and chaotic moments of the actor in interviews and press tours. And will I ever get tired of seeing him on my screen? Never.

Scarlett Johansson's Best Roles on Her Path to Jurassic World Rebirth
Originally appeared on E! Online Scarlett Johansson's star power has never been lost in translation. So when it was time to cast a believable badass to outrun, out-swim and outsmart a coterie of eerily evolved dinosaurs in Jurassic World Rebirth, it had to be her. Yet the actress—who's proved over the course of her 30-year career that she can deftly handle any screen challenge, from superhero stunts to playing an A.I. operating system—insists she's the lucky one. "I've been trying to get into a Jurassic movie for, I don't know, 15 years or something,' Johansson told The Hollywood Reporter in May during the Cannes Film Festival, where her feature directorial debut Eleanor the Great was screening. 'I was so stoked that it all came together.' Seemingly she could have had her pick of parts in the decade-old Jurassic World franchise, but being in demand does have its downside: There's only so much time every year for a movie star mom of two—Johansson shares son Cosmo, 3, with husband Colin Jost and daughter Rose, 10, with ex-husband Romain Dauriac—to commit to a big-budget action movie. But, happily, life finds a way. More from E! Online Allison Holker Was an 'Almond Mom' to Daughter Weslie Selena Gomez Unveils Bangin' New Hair Transformation Hailey Bieber Shares Video With Wedding Ring Amid Justin Bieber Breakup Speculation "When I first heard that there was a new Jurassic movie coming, that it was written with a female lead who was the age that I could fit into, and that it was happening during a time period that I could shoot," Johansson explained, "it was particularly surreal." The New York native's swift rise to superstardom also had the tinge of the surreal about it. Johansson showed her gravitas as a child actress in touching fare like Manny & Lo and The Horse Whisperer before breaking out in Sofia Coppola's revered 2004 indie dramedy Lost in Translation, joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Black Widow and scoring dual Oscar nominations in 2021 for Marriage Story and Jojo Rabbit. And now the 40-year-old is finally part of the world she first experienced as a kid, watching velociraptors learn how to open doors from her seat in a theater showing Jurassic Park. Whether or not Johansson laid it on a little thick for director Steven Spielberg, who remains an executive producer on the Jurassic World franchise, is beside the point. As she noted to THR, "I could've played it cooler and maybe I wouldn't have gotten it." See where Johansson's apparent dream role in Jurassic World Rebirth, in theaters July 2, fits in among the most memorable roles of her career: The Horse WhispererMatch PointScoop The PrestigeVicky Cristina BarcelonaThe SpiritHe's Just Not That Into You We Bought a ZooSing Avengers: EndgameMarriage StoryJojo RabbitBlack WidowAsteroid CityJurassic World Rebirth(E! and Universal Pictures are both members of the NBCUniversal family.)

7 best Scarlett Johansson movies to stream right now
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Scarlett Johansson has been appearing in movies since she was 10 years old, and it sometimes seems like she has never not been a star. She's the rare performer who made a smooth, quick transition from child actor to adult actor, and she's remained prolific and acclaimed for the past 30-plus years. Those three decades have included two Oscar nominations (for 'Marriage Story' and 'Jojo Rabbit'), performances across multiple genres, and an ongoing presence as superhero Natasha Romanoff (aka Black Widow) in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In just a few months in 2025, she's appeared in Wes Anderson's typically offbeat 'The Phoenician Scheme,' hosted 'Saturday Night Live' (where she got to work with her husband, Colin Jost) and prepared to carry yet another blockbuster franchise as the star of 'Jurassic World Rebirth,' opening in theaters July 2. Here are my picks for the best of Johansson's many excellent film performances. After several years as a child actor, Johansson had her breakthrough role in this satisfyingly cynical adaptation of the graphic novel by Daniel Clowes. Thora Birch stars as acerbic teenager Enid, with Johansson as her more sensible best friend Rebecca. Although they begin the movie as partners in snark, hurling insults at classmates during their high school graduation, their paths diverge as Rebecca gets a job and sets out on a path to mainstream adulthood. While Enid strikes up a disingenuous friendship with an oddball older record collector named Seymour (Steve Buscemi) and continues to reject societal expectations, Rebecca sees a life beyond Enid's empty nihilism. Johansson's deadpan delivery gives Rebecca the right sense of ironic detachment, while also offering glimpses into the maturity that begins to set her apart from the entitled, condescending Enid. Watch on Prime Video Johansson received her first Golden Globe nomination for her adult debut, playing the disaffected wife of a rock photographer spending an aimless week in Tokyo. Johansson's Charlotte has a chance meeting with movie star Bob Harris (Bill Murray), a fellow American staying in her hotel, who's in town to shoot a commercial for a Japanese whisky company. The two of them form an unlikely bond as they wander the city, feeling disconnected from their surroundings and questioning their life choices. Johansson and Murray have sweet, understated chemistry that is almost entirely platonic, and writer-director Sofia Coppola captures the sense of isolation that can come from an unfamiliar environment. Like the movie, Johansson's performance is a mix of bitter melancholy and wry humor, hinting at deeper longings often left unsaid. Rent/buy at Apple or Amazon The third of Johansson's three collaborations with writer-director Woody Allen is the strongest, both as a film and as a showcase for her talents. Johansson and Rebecca Hall star as best friends spending a summer in Barcelona. Hall's Vicky is a pragmatic grad student set to marry a dull businessman (Chris Messina), while Johansson's Cristina is a more free-spirited seeker who fancies herself some kind of artist. They're both drawn to passionate Spanish painter Juan Antonio (Javier Bardem), although it's Cristina who ends up in a relationship with him — as well as with his volatile ex-wife Maria Elena (Penelope Cruz). 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona' is one of Allen's most sensual films, in both its intimate relationships and its depiction of Spain, and Johansson fits in perfectly as a woman who never quite knows what she wants, but isn't afraid of going after it anyway. Watch on Peacock Director Jonathan Glazer pares down the source novel for this eerie sci-fi movie to its bare minimum, and Johansson does the same in her performance, playing an alien who assumes human form to seduce and consume unsuspecting men. At least that's what appears to be going on, although Glazer's minimalist approach invites the audience to fill in numerous narrative gaps. The unanswered questions only make 'Under the Skin' more unsettling, as Johansson's unnamed character travels across Scotland, chatting up men and bringing them back to a blank void, where they're trapped and devoured by an unknown force. Johansson uses her movie-star image as a sort of costume, allowing this creature to lay on the charm just as easily as she turns cold and detached — at least until her burgeoning connection with humanity becomes too much to bear. Rent/buy at Apple or Amazon It's sort of astounding that Johansson never actually appears onscreen in Spike Jonze's prescient sci-fi movie about a lonely man falling in love with an AI operating system. Johansson wasn't even originally cast in the movie, and was only brought in during post-production to replace the original actress as the voice of Samantha, the AI assistant who makes a romantic connection with depressed writer Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix). Johansson's performance is so key to the movie's success that it's hard to imagine it without her. She makes Samantha sound alluring and relatable as Theodore gets to know her, and later conveys the AI's expanding consciousness as Samantha rebels against the constraints of a single human connection. 'Her' has only become more relevant in the current age of AI, and it provides a bittersweet counterpoint to common dystopian perspectives. Watch on Prime Video One of the best things about Noah Baumbach's equally harrowing and humane drama about a couple's acrimonious divorce is that it's easy to argue that either party is in the right. That's thanks to Baumbach's deft writing and direction, as well as the brilliant lead performances from Johansson and Adam Driver. Baumbach takes the time to let viewers understand why these people were in love and seemed ideally matched before he shows their relationship falling apart. The villain here isn't the husband or the wife, but the grueling divorce industry that turns an initially amicable split into a ferocious battle, culminating in a devastating central fight between the estranged spouses. Johansson and Driver are just as genuinely moving in that moment of intense anger as they are in the lighthearted scenes, portraying the full spectrum of emotion in such a life-changing process. Watch on Netflix Johansson appeared as former Russian spy Natasha Romanoff in nine Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, but this is the only one that places her front and center, and it came after her character had already been killed off. That makes it somewhat underappreciated in the MCU, but Johansson demonstrates why Natasha became so popular with superhero fans, who advocated for years for her to get her own movie. Set before and during the events of previous MCU movies, 'Black Widow' introduces Natasha's dysfunctional adopted family of fellow covert agents, played by David Harbour, Rachel Weisz and Florence Pugh. Their fractured dynamic is the best part of the movie, which delves into Natasha's brutal upbringing in the sadistic training facility known as the Red Room, and finally gives her a chance to take her revenge.
