Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey, shocking skinship divide fans... Colin Jost also mentioned.
Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson (40) and her 'Jurassic World: Reversed' co-star Jonathan Bailey (37) have once again attracted attention with their affectionate display.
Bailey, who came out as gay, promoted his LGBTQIA+ charity 'The Shameless Fund' by posting a playful yet shocking photo on Instagram on the 26th (local time), seemingly biting Johansson's neck. This is the second support activity following last year's 'Drink Your Milk' t-shirt campaign.
Previously, the two surprised fans by sharing a red carpet kiss at movie premieres held in London and New York in June, and this latest post is also receiving explosive reactions. Some fans jokingly referenced Johansson's husband and SNL writer Colin Jost, asking, 'Colin, are you okay?'
Opinions were divided in the social media comments. Responses ranged from 'Shouldn't we make an official couple declaration by now?' to 'Looking at Scarlett's expression, she seems completely smitten,' and 'Colin Jost should also get bitten on the neck for fairness.'
On the other hand, Bailey showed a nonchalant attitude in an interview, saying, 'Love can be expressed in many ways. If friends can't kiss, then life is too short.' In fact, Johansson's husband Jost accepted the situation calmly, saying, 'I've never felt threatened by Jonathan's coming out as a gay man.'
Johansson is set to showcase her directorial debut 'Eleanor the Great' at the Toronto International Film Festival in September, and Bailey will be featured in the upcoming musical film 'Wicked: For Good' alongside Ariana Grande and Shin Si A, which is scheduled for release in November.
