The pair of flip-flops stood in stark contrast with the rest of the look, but the actor seemed to serve a fashion game that was more of a casual, cool vibe, matched with those stylish sunglasses. As pictures from the event surfaced on social media, fans hilariously reacted to Jonathan's decision to begin the promotions for the film in casual flip-flops. 'Jonathan bailey really pulled up to the Jurassic World photocall in flip flops… king behavior tbh,' said a fan. 'Wait. Are we bringing back jeans and flip flops?' asked another fan. 'PSA to men: Jonathan Bailey in flip flops is not the same as you in flip flops!' joked a second fan. 'He can rock anything. That man has style!' read a comment. Jurassic World Rebirth takes place five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, where the planet was proven 'largely inhospitable to dinosaurs'. Jonathan plays palaeontologist Dr Henry Loomis in the film, while Scarlett Johansson plays skilled covert operations expert Zora Bennett, and Mahershala Ali plays her team member. The official synopsis of the film reads, 'Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, 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. The three most colossal creatures across land, sea and air within that tropical biosphere hold, in their DNA, the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind.' The film will be released in theatres on July 2.
