Fans shocked by Colin Jost's reaction to wife Scarlett Johansson's standing ovation at Cannes
Colin Jost and Scarlett Johansson 's sweet interaction during her standing ovation at Cannes Film Festival has left fans swooning.
Black Widow actress Scarlett, 40, received a five-minute standing ovation and prompted 'tears and cheers' from the crowds after her film, Eleanor the Great, premiered at the festival on Tuesday night.
Before she took to the stage to address the audience though, she shared a tender moment with her other half, Colin, 42.
In scenes shared on social media, an elated Scarlett looked happily into the eyes of her husband.
Seconds later, Colin - who was beaming with pride - leaned into his wife and gave her a loving kiss.
Their sweet interaction came just days after the couple shared an onscreen smooch as they closed out Saturday Night Live 's 50th season finale last Saturday.
Gushing over their interaction on social media, one observed that the pair have 'genuine happiness and laughter.'
'Love them,' they added.

Another said: 'They are so good for each other. I love to see couples who support each other like these two. It's awesome!'
'I love them,' a third added.' I hope they stay married.'
'Such a lovely couple!' wrote a fourth.
Colin and Scarlett married in 2020, having got engaged two years into their relationship.
Scarlett shares her little girl with ex-husband Romain Dauriac, to whom she was married from 2014 to 2017.
Hollywood star Scarlett made her directorial debut with her film Eleanor the Great, which stars June Squibb.
The movie follows June's character, who converted to Judaism upon marriage, join a Jewish seniors' social group, before discovering it is specifically for Holocaust survivors.
Hoping to find companionship, Eleanor tells her friend Bessie's (Rita Zohar) devastating story about her family's time in Auschwitz as if it is her own, before her lie spirals away from her in a very public way.
Scarlett described her directorial debut premiering at the film festival as a 'dream come true' and 'surreal' as she emotionally soaked up the positive reaction.
However, critics were less convinced as it received very mixed reviews, with some branding it 'wobbly' and 'unconvincing' while others were more impressed by the 'powerful' and 'touching' release.
The Hollywood Reporter concluded that the film 'struggled to find its groove' despite a hopeful character-driven plot.
'The film lurches between comic set pieces and more dramatic beats, and while Johansson proves a competent helmer, it's not enough to overcome some dizzying tonal imbalances,' they wrote.

Paul Hollywood on his Scottish links and being a secret savoury fan
Haarala Hamilton The baker has a new book out Sign up to our daily newsletter – Regular news stories and round-ups from around Scotland direct to your inbox Sign up Thank you for signing up! Did you know with a Digital Subscription to The Scotsman, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... Paul Hollywood used to be a bit scary. He was usually the bad cop on The Great British Bake Off, with Mary Berry or Prue Leith as the goodie. These days, he's softened, like butter at room temperature. To match the bonhomie that we've seen on that ever popular Channel 4 programme, which was recently recommissioned for a sixteenth series, he's also released an equally cheery new read. Celebrate: Joyful Baking All Year Round is his fifteenth book. It features colourful, seasonal, fun and indulgent baking, and, in the introduction, describes this art as a 'hug'. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The book's recipes include sprinkletti cake, pear bakewell tart and a lush chocolate fudge cake. The cover features Hollywood, 59, wearing a pink shirt, with a big grin on his face as he sprinkles a final magic ingredient onto a two storey and very showstopping 'drip cake' that's groaning with a cornucopia of fruit. 'I think keeping it bright and light, entertaining, and happy, that's what the book's all about,' he says. 'When you're baking at home anyway, it's a special thing for you to do, and then for the other people to receive it as well and enjoy it'. He's definitely entering his positive era. Perhaps that's because he's hitting 60 next year. It's a number that definitely doesn't bother him. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'I don't really care about my age. I've been going gray since I was 16. I'm now more salt than I am pepper,' says. Hollywood, who is often described as a 'silver fox'. It is strange to think he's been on The Great British Bake Off for such a large chunk of his life. When they started filming, he was in his mid-fourties. However, all these years later, he still loves it, despite the very long working days. 'It's not like work, because it's such a lovely atmosphere. The crew goes back 16 years, so we're very much a tight unit, and there's such a great atmosphere in there,' he says. 'You've got the bubbly, effervescent Alison Hammond, and then you've got Noel, who's like a brother to me, and I love Prue. So there's this lovely blend of people. And of course, the bakers change every year, and they're just fascinating. I love getting to know them over the period of time we're together'. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad I've also noticed that, these days, he seems to dole out more of his signature approving handshakes than he used to, while he's judging. However, he insists that that's down to the contestants. He hasn't become easier to please. 'That's probably because of the quality. It's got better because if you look at the baking last year, and then the baking from series one, it's a totally different game,' says Hollywood. 'That's why more handshakes are happening because they are better bakers. They just create things that are much more professional'. Hollywood's own baking, and the recipes in the book, are very much influenced by his travels. When he's away from home, he loves 'sticking his nose' into a good bakery and having a look around. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'I've traveled a lot in my career and I've been to cities around the world, from St Petersburg to Miami to San Francisco down to Cape Town and everywhere in between,' he says. 'And that's where a lot of the ideas come from, for the Bake Off challenges as well, but also for the book and how to develop flavours'. The book mentions international bakes including the Japanese milk bread, shokupan. 'I was there for about three or four weeks, actually,' Hollywood says. 'I use the yudane method, which is all about infusing the flour with the boiling water, and it creates a very soft, light bread. And for toast, it's just delicious'. Although Hollywood loves to travel abroad, he also feels a deep connection to home, and especially Scotland. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad He found out more about his Celtic background after appearing on an episode of BBC genealogy programme Who Do You Think You Are? back in 2015. They covered the fact that his great-great-grandfather was in the City of Glasgow police force in the late Nineteenth century, and they unearthed other links to that MacKenzie side of his family. 'Before we started filming the program, they said to me, where do you feel more at home? And I said, remote mountain streams, and feeling small in amazing scenery, and I ended up being taken to Gairloch and Poolewe, where my family were from, where we had the croft,' he says. 'I was sitting on this little rock, looking out and they said, do you remember what you said and played it back. And I went, oh my God, this is it? This is the place. You end up going back to a place where your ancestors are from where you feel more comfortable. And I was shocked, absolutely shocked'. Apparently, the Edinburgh-based fashion designer, Siobhan Mackenzie, saw him on the programme, and gifted him a kilt in his family tartan. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Hollywood also likes a Scottish bake or two, though there aren't any in the new book. 'I do like Dundee cake and it's something I've added to books in the past. Anything with cranachan I've used as well. We've used that in Eton messes, with whisky, which works beautifully,' says Hollywood. 'There is also a meat pie in my new book, which is related to football matches. Now that is quite a Scottish thing'. He loves pie. That, and quiche, pizza or sausage rolls. He's actually more of a savoury fan, than a sweet one. 'Weirdly, because of my job,' he says. Still, baking isn't about scoffing it all yourself. As the new book says, it's about 'making something for someone else to show them you care'. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad So, is Hollywood happy to bake on demand, if a pal should ask? 'I've been dropped in it a couple of times, with a couple of hours to go,' he says. 'If I can't make a cake, I end up doing something like a meringue, with fruits, then spinning white chocolate over it. And I think, that'll do'. We'd happily take that, as Paul Hollywood's edible version of a hug.

Ana de Armas sings Tom Cruise's praises over his 'very special' review of her film Ballerina amid romance rumors
Ana de Armas shared her honest reaction to Tom Cruise gushing over her upcoming thriller, Ballerina, which hits theater on Friday. As rumors continue to swirl that the pair are dating, the actress, 37, shared how much his sweet review of her latest performance meant to her. 'It makes me really happy and proud,' she told told E! News at the film's Los Angeles premiere on Tuesday. The actress continued: 'It's surreal that someone like him is liking the movie and supporting the film and celebrating other people's films.' De Armas went on to emphasize how 'amazing' his support has been and told Variety that it is 'unbelievable' he used his platform to publicly support the John Wick spinoff. 'You know what, he supports every movie,' she added. 'He really wants the industry and cinema to do well and [wants] people going to the theaters.' 'It is very special that someone like him is supporting [Ballerina],' she said. De Armas also confirmed Cruise 'really liked it' and is a fan of the John Wick franchise, starring Keanu Reeves. During his press tour for Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, Cruise called Ballerina 'outstanding' in an interview with AP. Cruise also praised De Armas' 'experience in action' during a chat with E! News. 'She's really good,' he marveled while speaking about her role as Eve Macarro, a ballerina who is trained as an assassin, in the film. Last month, the Oscar nominee gave some insight into her decision to keep tight-lipped on her new romance with Cruise during an interview with ELLE Spain. During the interview, the star hinted at the speculation surrounding her and Cruise as she got candid about how she copes with the public's interest into her personal life. As her stardom has risen, the Ballerina star's love life has often wrought as much buzz as her career successes, with previous headline-hitting romances with movie star Ben Affleck and Tinder VP Paul Boukadakis. When quizzed about the scrutiny into her private life, De Armas admitted that she's grown more accustomed to dealing with it and accepted it came as part of the price of fame. Alluding to her apparent determination not to confirm her and Cruise's relationship status, she explained she's learned how important it is for her to have a separation between her 'public persona' and private life. She said: 'Over the years, you get more used to it. You learn to find your corners, your privacy, your way of doing things, your lifestyle... I'm one of those who think there should be external boundaries, a barrier that's quite visible to others and to oneself. 'Making it clear, "This is as far as I go with my work, my public persona, what's expected of me, and what I want to share with viewers and fans." That's wonderful, and I want to do it. 'You can't let the negative side of fame upset you, because then you won't enjoy the beautiful aspects, but it's essential to separate. We're all people and we need that privacy, consideration, and space. 'It seems incredible to have to say it, but we've forgotten that minimum of respect for others. Sometimes we have to make an abrupt stop so others are aware of your reality, but, well, I find my way. When I want to disappear from the map, I do'. However, Ana also admitted that the public criticism she's received over some of her past relationships has 'hurt me at times'. In November, she was hit by massive backlash after being linked to the stepson of Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez - who was handpicked by Raul Castro and 'chosen' in an election in which there were no opposition challengers allowed and has been accused of overseeing massive human rights abuses. After being pictured on a romantic stroll in Madrid hand-in-hand with 26-year-old Manuel Anido Cuesta, the Cuban star was savaged by fans for appearing to be dating the stepson of a dictatorship that she fled from at the age of 18 to live in Spain. Ana confessed that she had become very good at 'filtering' negative comments, knowing which ones to listen to and learn from and which to 'block' that were 'made to intentionally cause you pain.' The Knives Out star claimed that criticisms have 'gotten out of hand' now and become 'damaging and toxic', but insisted: 'I do have control over that, knowing what I let touch me and what I don't.' Ana and Tom first sparked dating rumors after being spotted out to dinner just before Valentine's Day. The speculation reached a fever pitch when exclusive DailyMail photos showed her being flown into London by the action star in his private helicopter last month, just days before her birthday. While neither has confirmed their relationship, the last week has seen both stars speaking about each other, while on the promotional trail at the same time. In May, Cruise raved to Extra that De Armas is a 'very talented, great dramatic actress [with] comedic, tremendous ability, [who] learns quickly.' previously learned that the couple have been getting serious in recent weeks, with one of Tom's A-list exes even giving their approval. It is understood Spanish actress Penelope Cruz - who dated Tom from 2001 to 2004 - is 'happy' that her ex-boyfriend has found new love with her pal, who she starred opposite in the 2019 movie WASP Network. An insider told the Daily Mail: 'Ana has said that Penelope is happy for her, she approves. They know each other from the movie and also they have friends in common in Madrid from when Ana lived there for a while.' They added: 'Tom makes Ana feel safe and that is very important to her. She was flipped out by the fans and stalkers when living in Venice Beach [Los Angeles] so she moved to a remote part of Vermont. 'She loves being away from the crazy. She has been traveling with Tom to busy cities like London, but he always makes her feel safe because he is thoughtful and he has a ton of security. 'He never puts her at risk, she is completely taken care of when she is in his company.' Friends believe the relationship could last, with our insider pointing to the fact that Ana does 'not like to party', preferring quiet nights at home like her decades-older boyfriend. Though another source stressed that the pair are 'taking it day by day' and that the stunner 'does not give her heart away easy.' They said: 'Ana has a thing for older men and Tom fits the bill of her type. The proof is in the pudding. Being affectionate with someone is not something that Ana would do for a role.'
