Jonathan Bailey and his slutty little glasses struck again last night at the New York premiere of Jurassic World Rebirth. Not only did he stun on the red carpet, he also kissed Scarlett Johansson—again! But while some in the U.S. might think that a kiss on the lips is a bit of an odd way to greet a co-star, Jonathan explained his kiss with Scarlett, saying it's just what friends do!
“I believe in being able to show love in all different ways. And if you can't kiss your friends... life's too short not to,” he told Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet when asked about the smooch. Hard to argue that logic—especially if your friends are gorgeous movie stars who helped you survive an island full of dangerous dinosaurs resurrected by a mad scientist.
ICYMI, last week Jonathan and Scarlett shared a respectful peck at the World Premiere of Jurassic World Rebirth in London on Tuesday, June 17. The clip went viral—as most things involving Jonathan being charming do nowadays—and no doubt this New York premiere kiss will do the same. Just look at how she grabs his face! (Also, note the placement of his hands around her waist! We love a man who respects boundaries.) Needless to say, if Jonathan was hoping to put an end to his reputation as the most charming man in Hollywood, he's going to be disappointed.

Scarlett was also asked about their kiss on the red carpet. When asked about the fan obsession with the simple greeting by Access Hollywood, she laughed, joking, “They got some time.” She also teased their onscreen dynamic in the film, saying, “The characters have a great relationship and ultimately I think they really impact one another for the better.”
Of course, ScarJo previously gushed over her co-star, reportedly calling him “delicious in every way.” When asked to elaborate by E! News on the Oscars red carpet, Scarlett responded, “Have you seen him?” She continued, “He's such a wonderful man and he's an incredible actor and he's just a delicious treat!” No objections here!
