Jonathan Bailey and Scarlett Johansson are co-stars in the upcoming Jurassic World Rebirth film and great friends in real life.

The Bridgerton sensation recently spoke to Entertainment Tonight about a kiss they shared during the movie's red carpet event in London last week.

"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 explained, referencing their viral smooch greeting that was not their first, nor last!

The star also commented on people who make extraordinary experiences even better, speaking very highly of Johansson and her wonderful qualities.

"The people that you meet along the way make extraordinary experiences even better and it's been amazing to get back together and celebrate all the experiences that we've had on the screen. But yeah, Scarlett is just endlessly fun, hilarious, sensitive, intelligent... I am very lucky to be a part of their tribe."

The Black Widow actress is married to comedian Colin Jost, who was allegedly a few feet away when Bailey locked lips with his wife, according to the New York Post.

Jurassic World Rebirth is set to hit theaters on July 2!
