Jonathan Bailey knows how to keep fans talking. The âBridgertonâ and âWickedâ star has once again stirred up the internet with his latest post featuring Scarlett Johansson, sparking buzz, debate, and plenty of heart-eyed comments across social media. From red carpet kisses to Instagram surprises, the duo has become one of Hollywoodâs most-watched friendships, and their latest moment only adds fuel to the fire.
Bailey and Johansson first drew attention at the July premiere of âJurassic World: Rebirth,â when Johansson surprised the red carpet photographers by planting a kiss directly on Baileyâs lips. The moment went viral instantly, sending social media into overdrive with speculation about the nature of their relationship.
The Photo From “Jurassic World” Stars That Has Fans Talking
Bailey shared the now-viral image on his Instagram page, showing Johansson looking effortlessly stylish while he leaned in close with a playful gesture that fans interpreted as a kissâor even a bite. He captioned it simply, âSCARLETT,â and tagged the Shameless Fund, drawing both swoons and excitement in the comments. One comment from a fan even proposed a âPetition for Jonathan Bailey to play a vampireâ.
The Real Reason for the Photo: Jonathan Bailey’s Philanthropy
Now, this latest photoâplayful and unguardedâis serving a purpose. Shared to raise awareness and funds for the Shameless Fundâs latest campaign (a collaboration with eyewear brand Cubitts), itâs Baileyâs way of channeling attention toward queer visibility and support. The LGBTQ+ advocacy group is one that Bailey co-founded.
The Shameless Fund is a charity founded in 2024 by actor Jonathan Bailey. It exists to support LGBTQ+ communities and organizations globally, with a vision for a world where every LGBTQ+ person can âlive authentically, love freely, and thrive without the burdens of discrimination, oppression or shame.â
The Most Iconic Hollywood Friendship of the Year

Bailey previously reflected on the pair’s viral kiss on the red carpet with a cool shrug: âI believe in being able to show love in all different ways. And if you canât kiss your friends⦠lifeâs too short not to.â Scarlett echoed his warmth, explaining it just lived in the realm of âWeâre just friendly people⦠Iâve got a lot of love to give.â
Scarlettâs husband Colin Jost took the attention in stride, blending humor with reassurance. With deadpan wit, he quipped that Bailey was like âthe Raptor you never thought.â And if things kept going in that direction, maybe he and Bailey âshould close the loopâ and swap a kiss of their own. Jost added calmly that the press reaction was mostly âblown way out of proportionâ.
In a world where headlines can burn bright and fade fast, Jonathan Bailey and Scarlett Johansson have effortlessly anchored a moment thatâs playful, affectionate, and purposeful. Itâs a flash of real connection, with a lens turned toward activism. In the blur of blockbuster premieres and social media swipes, this friendshipâhas seemingly become something very special, yet playful, for the two friends.
