Scarlett reacts to kiss with Jonathan
During an appearance on Today, Scarlett addressed the viral moments with a laugh after host Craig Melvin referred to Jonathan as “just so attractive.” She responded with a smile, “Yeah, you said it.”
Scarlett also downplayed the buzz around the photos and said, “He’s a lovable guy, what can I say? I don’t know, we are friendly people.” When asked if she was surprised by the public reaction, she added with a grin, “Nothing surprises me these days. But yeah, I’ve got a lot of love to give, what can I say?”
Jonathan Bailey breaks the silence
Jonathan has also spoken out about the viral red carpet kisses. In a statement to Entertainment Tonight, he emphasised that the moments were simply a genuine expression of affection between close friends. “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,” Jonathan said.
The two co-stars first grabbed headlines last week after sharing a quick kiss at the film’s London premiere. They recreated the playful moment at the New York premiere as well, this time with Scarlett’s husband, Colin Jost, in attendance.
