Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Jost shared that he did not expect it to be blown out of proportion and that the film, and the moments he 'didn’t see coming,' would become a story, like the co-stars’' public display of affection. "I guess in Jurassic Park terms, the attack always comes from the raptor you never thought [of.] Of all the threats out there, I wasn’t thinking it was Jonathan," he added.
'Blown Out Of Proportion': Colin Jost
He added, "People really blow it out of proportion. When someone, like, kisses their friend hello. That’s pretty nuts. Jonathan’s an out gay man. It didn’t seem like the biggest threat. Jonathan and I were like, ‘I guess we have to kiss now? Is that what happens?’ Close the loop!"
During an appearance on Today, Scarlett reacted to kissing Jonathan, calling him a 'lovable guy' and saying that they are 'friendly people.' When asked if the public reaction surprised her, she replied, "Nothing surprises me these days. But yeah, I’ve got a lot of love to give, what can I say?"
Scarlett and Colin tied the knot in 2020. They welcomed their first child together in 2021.
The actress is also mom to daughter Rose Dorothy, whom she shares with her ex-husband Romain Dauriac.
