Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey shared a kiss on the red carpet, and fans are all thinking the same thing.

The duo was at the Jurassic World Rebirth premiere Tuesday night at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square Cinema.
Johansson looked every inch the Hollywood icon in a sparkling pink strapless gown dripping in sequins and beads, complete with a corseted bodice by Vivienne Westwood. Her old Hollywood waves were styled by longtime stylist Kate Young.
Bailey, meanwhile, kept things cool and casual in a brown blazer, blue denim shirt, and white pants, topping off the laid-back look with sunglasses and a two-tone baseball cap.
They greeted each other with an adorably warm hug, but Johansson, 40, took things up a notch, grabbing Bailey’s face and pulling him in for a friendly kiss.
The Bridgerton heartthrob, 37, looked just as thrilled, wrapping his arms around her and flashing a smile.
Despite the PDA, there’s no romantic drama here. It was all just some playful fun between co-stars.
Johansson has been married to Colin Jost, 42, since 2020, and the couple shares two kids: Rose, 10, and Cosmo, three.
Bailey confirmed in 2023 that he’s dating “a lovely man,” though he’s kept the identity private.
“It’s not secret, but it’s private,” he told the Evening Standard at the time.
“Having a private life is, for me, completely critical. I don’t know if I would be able to be as confident to speak out on other things if I felt that my whole life was up for grabs.”

Despite there being no romantic connection between Johansson and Bailey, fans were quick to react online, and they were all worried about Colin Jost's reaction.
Many people shared GIFs of Jost in the comment section, noting that his reaction might be a bit surprised.
In other weird news related to Johansson, she once opened up about one of the most awkward moments in her acting career - one that was so uncomfortable it made Joaquin Phoenix leave the room.
While promoting her work in Spike Jonze’s 2013 sci-fi romance Her, Scarlett opened up about a cringe-inducing recording session during a 2022 episode of the Armchair Expert podcast with hosts Dax Shepard and Monica Padman - and let’s just say, it was a whole experience.
In the movie Her, Phoenix plays a lonely man who falls in love with his AI virtual assistant, voiced by Johansson. Though Scarlett never appears on screen, she had to lend her voice to a steamy phone sex scene - and that’s when things got deeply weird.
“Joaquin comes in, we try to get through one take, and he was, like, losing it,” she recalled.
“He was like, angry ... He had already done [the scene], he had done it in person, and now he was with me, in this weird theater, I’m in this box and [Joaquin] is staring at me, the lights are low, and like, Spike is there. It was so bizarre.”
The discomfort hit hard. According to Scarlett, things got so tense that Phoenix actually had to walk out.
“Joaquin was so upset about it, he left the studio. He needed a break.”
