Colin Jost is sharing how he really feels about those viral red carpet kisses between Jurassic World Rebirth co-stars Jonathan Bailey and Scarlett Johansson, who is also his wife.
In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, the reporter and Jost discussed the press surrounding the movie and things he “didn’t expect” to become a story, like the co-stars’ public display of affection.
The SNL star playfully said, “I guess in Jurassic Park terms, the attack always comes from the raptor you never thought [of.] Of all the threats out there, I wasn’t thinking it was Jonathan.”

“People really blow it out of proportion. When someone, like, kisses their friend hello. That’s pretty nuts,” Jost said. “Jonathan’s an out gay man. It didn’t seem like the biggest threat. Jonathan and I were like, ‘I guess we have to kiss now? Is that what happens?’ Close the loop!”

The Black Widow actress and Wicked actor made headlines when they were photographed smooching on the red carpet at the film’s London and New York City premieres last month.
Following the appearances, Johansson stopped by the Today show, where she agreed with co-anchor Craig Melvin that their kisses were platonic and friendly. “He’s a lovable guy, what can I say?,” she noted when speaking about Bailey. “I don’t know, we’re friendly people.”
She was also asked about the internet reactions to the kisses. “Nothing surprises me, you know what I mean?” she responded. “Nothing surprises me these days. But yeah, I’ve got a lot of love to give, what can I say?”
