Scarlett Johansson & Jonathan Bailey Answer The Web's Most Searched Questions ｜ WIRED

Hi, he's Jonathan Bailey. This is Scarlett Johansson. And we are doing the Wired Autocomplete interview. Just to say. Instead of tucking them in my crotch. Where did they go? In my secret magical place. Okay, what was Scarlett Johansson's breakout role? My breakout role was probably The Horse Whisperer when I was 12. Brilliant film. Thank you. Not Home Alone 3? That was a follow-up to The Horse Whisperer. That was first, okay. No, actually it was before that. I had worked before that, but I think that would be my breakout role. I don't know. Ask Google! What is Scarlett Johansson directing? I directed a film called Eleanor the Great, starring June Squibb and Aaron Kellyman and Chiwetel Ejiofor and Jessica Hecht. And I hear it's brilliant. Thank you. The can must have been a highlight. It was a humongous highlight. Like, absolute dream come true. It really, really was. It was so amazing to be there with the cast. Yeah, it'll be coming out this fall. What is Scarlett Johansson's favourite movie? Oh, that is tough. I love Auntie Mame. I also love Groundhog Day. I also love Terminator 2 a lot, and Back to the Future 2. Yeah, cracking selection. Amen to them. And Jurassic World Rebirth. What is Scarlett Johansson's favourite song? Depends on the day. It definitely depends on the day. Billie Holiday sings a version of All of Me that I really love. It's one of my favourite songs, for sure. Here we go. Why are Jonathan Bailey's eyes blue in Wicked? Why do they do that? Winky blue. There's a lyric in, it will all become clear in the second film, but there's a lyric in the duet, for those who know. He says, you've got me seeing through different eyes. So that's a clue. Okay. There's a real evolution of the character. And it's literal in the actual eyeballs. Yes, exactly. I want to show it in my eyes. Is Jonathan Bailey actually singing in Wicked? Are you? I am singing in Wicked, yeah. Wow. Yeah. The internet needs to know. Every beat, every bar. How was that? That must have been, so wait, do you sing live while you're doing, was it one of those where you do a track? You did sing live? Yeah, yes. Did you lose it a lot? Where you were like, you would do a whole take of dancing and then you'd end up in a really off key. There's an iconic moment, and I won't name and shame the artist, but where they forgot to put her click track on while she was singing in Top of the Pops in the UK. And all you could hear was. And I won't lie, there's a couple of takes where that happened to me. Okay. What music does Jonathan Bailey listen to? What are you listening to right now? At the moment, I'm listening to a 90s playlist. Ultra Latte, Snap, sort of Acid House, Jamiroquai. Do you think Jamiroquai? Of course. How did you compile that? Do you know Jamiroquai? We're like besties. How did you compile it? This whole press tour feels very 90s nostalgia. My dad was formerly a DJ in a past life, and there was an album called Dance to the Max. That is etched onto my nostalgic mind, so I've been enjoying that. Is Jonathan Bailey dating Scarlett Johansson? Yes. You heard it here first. Is Scarlett Johansson going to be in? Your question's on riveting. I don't think they're doing a very good job of promoting the movie if that's the number one movie question. Whoopsies! Okay, does Scarlett Johansson... Turn into a dinosaur? How did they find out? Do you know why this is being filmed? I know. We talked about this. There was a terrible AI version of a trailer that came out. Did you see that? You must have seen it. No, but I think you told me. It had a dinosaur with Scarlett's ponytail. I actually turn into a dinosaur, not in this film though, but at some point in the evening. You do what every night? Yeah. The only thing that will bring her back is a dirty martini. Can Scarlett Johansson... Can Jonathan Bailey read? Can Scarlett Johansson actually feed? Who's asking? Okay. Who, Jonathan Bailey? Who does Jonathan Bailey end up with in Bridgerton? Wait, am I supposed to be asking you that? Oh, sorry, yeah, go on. Who does Jonathan Bailey end up with in Bridgerton? Kate Sharma. Formerly Kate Sharma, now Kate Bridgerton. Played by Simone Ashley. Who is Jonathan Bailey in Broadchurch? You can see the difference between the questions. People know who you are. Everyone's trying to piece it all together. This is all my crumbs, the Hansel and Gretel crumbs of my career. You mean the one that said it's Scarlett Johansson in Jurassic World? Yeah, that's the one. Did you know about Broadchurch? No, what is that? British crime drama. Ollie Stevens, yeah. He was a pretty annoying local reporter, nephew of Olivia Colman. It was David Tennant. Phoebe Waterbridge then came in and played my love interest in the second series. But it was an amazing British cast. Is it a comedy? No, it was a kind of Scandi-noir British drama. And it came at a time where, before streaming, where dramas would play every night, Monday to Friday. And we'd really got into that. And then Broadchurch came along and they just paced it every week. And it was a really, it was like a water cooler moment. You mean like how regular TV used to be? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Before streaming. It's this incredible thing. Remember, he used to leave you with a cliffhanger every week. And it sort of kept a network alive. And you had time to process. Next. Ready? Who does Jonathan Bailey remind me of? Your dad. Daddy. Next. Scarlett Johansson. Is Scarlett Johansson hosting the Today Show? I have hosted the Today Show. In January? Yeah. I did it for a week. I loved it. It was my favourite job of all time. With Jenna? Yes. It was so fun. You did it yesterday. I went, I popped in and said hello yesterday, yeah. When did Scarlett Johansson host SNL? Have you got the jacket? Have you done it five times? I've done seven times. Oh wow. So you've got the... Oh, when did you get the jacket? At the Fifth Time. Five Time Club. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I just hosted it. I hosted the season finale. I think it went pretty well. I mean, the wheels fell off by the end, which is, I think... Always a good sign. Yeah, that's a good sign. A lot of work. And, like, by the end of it you're delirious. And then the next day you feel like you got hit by a truck. It's fantastic. It's so good. Where did Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost meet? We met at SNL. Just a couple of weeks ago. That's sad to know. Why Scarlett Johansson is not on social media? I don't know. Because I don't... It's just not my thing. It's a different... It's not my thing. Does Jonathan Bailey dance? Yes. Does Jonathan Bailey own a horse? No. What a weird question. Do you own a horse? Oh, well, because I have done two films with the same horse. Jack is a horse that I rode in Bridgerton. And? And we did have a very, very special bond. I mean, he's just an amazing horse. And when I got the part in Wicked of Fiyero, I went to meet John Chu, and the first question, I was like, have you cast a horse? Because I think I know the man for the job, and that's Jack. He's got more credits than anyone. He's a hero. Does he love you? I think so. I haven't seen him for a while. I need to go and probably say hello. Does he remember you instead? Yeah, we really... You know when you work... Within an animal, you're one of them. You're literally the horse whisperer. Yeah. Yeah, we really bonded. There was a scene where I had to canter, and I jumped off him cantering. Scary, when you were scared. But you're not scared when it's Jack. But then when you ride other horses, you realize how intricate the communication is between man and horse. It's a beautiful thing. How nice. Can you do a front walkover? I can. You can? I did it in the film. You did? In Wicked. Oh, I was like, I don't remember you doing a front walkover. When Henry Loomis sees a dinosaur, he just has to flip. He flips out. Did you learn that when you were a kid? Yeah, I did, yeah. In gymnastics? I did gymnastics. Can you do a back walkover? I probably could after a dirty martini. So at the time when you come back from being a dinosaur, I'll do it. I start bending backwards. Jonathan Bailey Glasses, Jurassic Park. Tell us about them. The answer is yes. When we had the costume fitting, there were certain things. Stephen wanted you to wear glasses. Yes, that was key. And it was written, I'm sure it was in the script. Yeah. And we knew this was going to be a love letter, and a film that's in reverence to so many of the films we loved growing up. And so we thought of Dreyfus. I think it's a Cary Grant thing, personally. You think it's a CG? 100%. I know that to be true. I didn't know that. It is. Well, we were like, it's a Dreyfus thing. And then they were made by Qubits, a brand that I'd worn for 10 years, so it all just sort of made sense. If you asked Stephen, he would say it's a Cary Grant thing. Yeah, she fights. She fights social media. You guys, the Bournes don't lie. That was the truth right there. The tea was spilled. As I was naked before you. She's been Scarlett. We're the Bournes. And he has been Jonathan Bailey. And I hope you weren't bored with our boards.
