Fans praise Colin Jost for response to Scarlett Johansson kissing Jonathan Bailey on press tour
Colin Jost has addressed the attention around Scarlett Johansson kissing Jonathan Bailey during the Jurassic World Rebirth press tour. Johansson and Bailey, who star in the film, were seen sharing kisses on the red carpet at multiple events. Jonathan Bailey, who is openly gay, previously said of the kisses, 'I believe in being able to show love in all different ways. And if you can't kiss your too short not to.' Colin Jost spoke about the situation with Entertainment Tonight, describing the press tour as 'fun,' although noting the unexpected stories emerging from it. '[There's been a] lot of Jurassic press things that you're like, you didn't expect this to be a story. But there's a lot of stories coming out of it,' Jost said. When asked directly about 'your wife constantly kissing Jonathan Bailey,' Jost responded, 'I guess in Jurassic Park terms, the attack always comes from the raptor you never thought. Of all the threats out there, I wasn't thinking it was Jonathan.' He added, 'People really blow it out of proportion, when someone kisses their friend hello,' and noted, 'Jonathan's an out gay man. It didn't seem like the biggest threat,' before joking that he and Bailey now need to kiss to 'close the loop.' Fans on TikTok and Reddit described Jost's response as confident and noted their appreciation for his relaxed approach, with some commenting that 'the world needs more Colins.'
