“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,” Bailey, 37, told Entertainment Tonight, brushing off any buzz about the sweet gesture.
It wasn’t their first affectionate moment on the press tour. Johansson and Bailey also shared a friendly smooch at the film’s London premiere just days earlier on June 17.

The Marvel star coordinated with her husband, Saturday Night Live’s Colin Jost, who wore an all-white linen suit for the event.
The couple, married for four years, happily posed together, with no signs of jealousy over Johansson’s flirty red carpet moment with Bailey.
Bailey Reflects on Breaking Barriers as an Out Gay Actor
Bailey recently spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about his journey as an openly gay actor leading a major studio film.
“There’s moments where, yes, you have to be excellent to prove that you can do it. And it’s not like I haven’t felt that. There’s the weight of history,” Bailey said.
He added: “Being an out gay actor, historically, meant that you wouldn’t be able to play straight and there weren’t any gay parts to play anyway. That’s obviously changed massively.”
Inside Jurassic World Rebirth
“Jurassic World Rebirth”, set five years after the events of 2022’s Jurassic World Dominion, stars Johansson as Zora. She plays a covert ops expert on a mission to retrieve genetic material from the world’s largest dinosaurs.
But when Zora’s team crosses paths with a shipwrecked family in an isolated equatorial zone, they all end up stranded on an island hiding a dangerous, long-buried secret.
Bailey stars alongside Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Rupert Friend in the highly anticipated installment of the blockbuster dinosaur franchise.
