Jonathan Bailey and Scarlett Johansson Share Friendly Red Carpet Moment at Jurassic World Premiere

At the June 17, 2025 premiere of ‘Jurassic World: Rebirth’ in London, actors Jonathan Bailey and Scarlett Johansson shared a kiss on the green carpet that generated sensational headlines. Bailey, an openly gay actor, stars as the new lead in the revived dinosaur franchise, taking over from Chris Pratt. The article discusses the significance of Bailey, known for his role in ‘Bridgerton’, being cast as a major action lead, noting that his presence represents progress for LGBTQ+ representation in Hollywood. Media coverage, however, focused heavily on the kiss with Johansson, despite it being a friendly, European-style greeting. The piece also humorously highlights the absence of Johansson’s husband, comedian Colin Jost, framing the moment in a theatrical and tongue-in-cheek tone. A Hollywood Reporter profile published the same day as the article further emphasizes Bailey’s own reflections on breaking through a ‘glass ceiling’ for gay actors. The Vulture article critiques the overblown media response while celebrating Bailey’s growing stardom and redefinition of traditional leading-man roles.
