00:00Jonathan Bailey is setting the record straight, or, well, setting the record gay, about those

00:05red carpet kisses with Scarlett Johansson.

00:07After smooching his Jurassic World Rebirth co-star at not one, but multiple premieres,

00:13the Bridgerton heartthrob addressed the cheeky moment, telling Entertainment Tonight,

00:16I believe in being able to show love in all different ways.

00:20He added, if you can't kiss your friends, life's too short not to.

00:23Honestly, preach.

00:25It all started at the London premiere where Scarlett stunned in a pink Vivian Westwood

00:28gown and Jonathan looked dapper as ever in a brown suit.

00:32The pair greeted each other with a warm hug, a cheek touch, and yes, a quick kiss that

00:36had social media spiraling.

00:38Then came round two at the New York City premiere, this time with Scarlett and Ivory and husband

00:42Collin Jost right there, matching in white like a proud member of Team Friendship Kiss.

00:47Fans couldn't get enough.

00:49One joked, this is a pending SNL skit.

00:52Another said, what we were all thinking, Jonathan is the gay best friend every girl wants.

00:57To be clear, Scarlett and Collin have been happily married since 2020 and shared two kids, son

01:02Cosmo and daughter Rose from her previous marriage.

01:04As for Jonathan, he came out publicly in 2018 and has been refreshingly candid about his

01:09journey.

01:10In 2022, he told GQ he reached a point where he thought, f*** this, I'd much prefer to

01:14hold my boyfriend's hand in public.

01:16Though he's kept his relationship mostly private, he did tell Evening Standard last

01:20year that he's dating a lovely man.

01:23And no, we still don't know who it is.

01:25And honestly, we love a man with boundaries and a perfect smize.

01:28So let's not make a kiss more than it is.

01:31Sometimes a little red carpet PDA is just that, a perfectly moisturized, well-lit platonic

01:36peck between friends.

01:37So let's take a kiss.
