The internet exploded when photos surfaced of Johansson and Bailey sharing kisses at both the London premiere on June 17, 2025 and the New York City premiere earlier this week. The images quickly spread across social platforms, sparking widespread discussion about their chemistry.

'He's a Lovable Guy, What Can I Say?'

Natural Chemistry During Press Tour

The two actors appeared completely at ease during their promotional events in both London and New York. Their visible affection and playful interactions caught photographers' attention, creating the moments that would later dominate social media feeds.

Johansson and Bailey are co-starring in the highly anticipated ‘Jurassic World Rebirth,’ the latest instalment in the beloved Jurassic Park franchise. Their natural chemistry has become a talking point throughout the global press tour.

Johansson's Long Journey to the Jurassic Franchise

Beyond the viral kisses, Johansson has expressed genuine excitement about joining the Jurassic universe. The actress revealed that landing this role fulfilled a decade-long dream.

"When I first heard that there was a new Jurassic movie coming, and that it had a female lead my age, it felt surreal," Johansson shared with The Hollywood Reporter. She called the entire experience "unbelievable."

The timing proved challenging for the busy actress. "I was actually in the middle of filming Eleanor the Great at the time, so it was a lot to juggle. I had these geeked-out, fangirl moments--but then I had to put those aside and focus," she explained.

Jurassic World Rebirth Release Date and Fan Expectations

‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ is set to hit theatres on July 4, 2025, promising audiences another thrilling adventure in the dinosaur-filled universe. With Johansson and Bailey's proven chemistry both on and off screen, fans are eagerly anticipating their performances.
