Scarlett Johansson & Jonathan Bailey Share Steamy Photo After Viral Kiss [PHOTO]

Jonathan Bailey knows how to keep fans talking. The “Bridgerton” and “Wicked” 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 Hollywood’s most-watched friendships, and their latest moment only adds fuel to the fire.

Bailey and Johansson first drew attention at the July premiere of “Jurassic World: Rebirth,” when Johansson surprised the red carpet photographers by planting a kiss directly on Bailey’s 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 kiss—or even a bite. He captioned it simply, “SCARLETT,” and tagged the Shameless Fund, drawing both swoons and excitement in the comments. One comment from a fan even proposed a “Petition for Jonathan Bailey to play a vampire”.

The Real Reason for the Photo: Jonathan Bailey’s Philanthropy

Now, this latest photo—playful and unguarded—is serving a purpose. Shared to raise awareness and funds for the Shameless Fund’s latest campaign (a collaboration with eyewear brand Cubitts), it’s Bailey’s 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 “live authentically, love freely, and thrive without the burdens of discrimination, oppression or shame.”

Bailey previously reflected on the pair’s viral kiss on the red carpet with a cool shrug: “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.” Scarlett echoed his warmth, explaining it just lived in the realm of “We’re just friendly people… I’ve got a lot of love to give.”

Scarlett’s husband Colin Jost took the attention in stride, blending humor with reassurance. With deadpan wit, he quipped that Bailey was like “the Raptor you never thought.” And if things kept going in that direction, maybe he and Bailey “should close the loop” and swap a kiss of their own. Jost added calmly that the press reaction was mostly “blown way out of proportion”.

In a world where headlines can burn bright and fade fast, Jonathan Bailey and Scarlett Johansson have effortlessly anchored a moment that’s playful, affectionate, and purposeful. It’s a flash of real connection, with a lens turned toward activism. In the blur of blockbuster premieres and social media swipes, this friendship—has seemingly become something very special, yet playful, for the two friends.
