Scarlett Johansson has joked she and Jonathan Bailey are "friendly people" after their red carpet kisses.
The Jurassic World Rebirth actress - who is married to Saturday Night Live star Colin Jost - and her co-star have shared some platonic smooches during the press tour for the newest Jurassic Park blockbuster sequel, and she has opened up on their public displays.
During an appearance on the TODAY show on Wednesday (15.06.25), host Craig Melvin said: "He's just so attractive."
Scarlett replied: "Yeah, you said it."
She quipped: "He's a lovable guy, what can I say? I don't know, we're friendly people.'
The 40-year-old star admitted she hasn't been surprised by the photos of them kissing going viral.
She laughed: "Nothing surprises me, you know what I mean? Nothing surprises me these days. But yeah, I've got a lot of love to give, what can I say?'
Jonathan, 37, came out as gay to his close friends and family in his early 20s, before making his sexuality public around 2018.
He previously admitted his sexuality had been a gradual realisation and he even dated a woman for two years in his 20s.
He told Britain's Vogue magazine last year: "It's interesting with the binary, where you're perceived to be either this or that. That's how I saw it at the time, but there are so many nuances to it.
"My experience of that relationship was not that I was in the shadows. She remains one of my best friends.
'I think other people understood my sexuality before I was even aware of it."
Jonathan has always been "confident" in public displays of affection, but admitted there have been occasions when he's been "heckled" as a result.
He said: 'I've always been a confident hand-holder in relationships.
'I had a boyfriend who wasn't experienced at holding hands in public. We got heckled in London. But that kind of behaviour is now outweighed by the smiles you get.'
