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'd they go?

In my secret magical place.

Go on, you hold that.

OK, what was Scarlett Johansson's breakout role?

My breakout role was probably The Horse Whisperer when I was 12.

Brilliant film.

Yeah, thank you.

Not Home Alone 3.

That was a follow-up to The Horse Whisperer.

That was first.

No, actually it was before that.

Well, 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 Erin Kellyman and Chiwetel Ejiofor and Jessica Hecht.

And I hear it's brilliant.

Thank you.

The Cannes 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.

And yeah, it'll be coming out this fall.

What is Scarlett Johansson's favorite movie?

Oh, that is tough.

I love Auntie Mame.

I also love Groundhog Day.

Brilliant film.

And I also love Terminator 2 a lot and Back to the Future 2.

Yeah, Cracking Selection.

Amen to them.

All right.

And Jurassic World Rebirth.

What is Scarlett Johansson's favorite 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 favorite 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.

And he says, you've got me singing through different eyes.

So that's a clue.

Okay.

There's a real evolution of the character.

And it's literally the actual eyeballs.

Yes, exactly.

And I want to show you 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 is that?

That must have been...

So wait, do you sing live while you're doing it?

Was it one of those?

Yeah, we sang all live.

Did you do like a track?

You did sing live?

Yeah, well that, yes.

And then...

Did you lose it a lot?

Where you were like...

You would do a whole take of like dancing and all that stuff 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 what 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.

Ultronate, Snap, sort of Acid House, Jamiroquois.

Do you know Jamiroquois?

Of course.

How did you compile it?

Do you know Jamiroquois?

We're like besties.

Wait, but 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 like etched onto my nostalgic mind, so I've been enjoying that.

Nice.

Yes.

You heard it here first.

Is Scarlett Johansson going to be in...

Your questions are riveting.

Jurassic.

I don't think they're doing a very good job of promoting the movie, if that's the number one.

Whoopsies.

Okay.

Does Scarlett Johansson...

Turn into a dinosaur?

How did they find out?

Do you know why this is being Googled?

I know.

Yeah.

Do you know?

We talked about this.

There was a terrible AI version of a trailer that came out.

Did you see it?

You must have seen it.

No, but I think you told me.

Well, 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.

Oh, you do what, every night?

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's like a...

The only thing that will bring her back is a dirty martini.

Can Scarlett Johansson...

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.

Ask me the question.

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 like trying to piece it all together.

This is all my crumbs, the Hansel and Gretel crumbs of my career.

The one that said it's Scarlett Johansson in Jurassic World Reaver?

Yeah, that's the one.

Did you know about Broadchurch?

No. What is that?

British crime drama.

Ollie Stevens, yeah.

He was like a pretty annoying local reporter.

Nephew of Olivia Colman.

It was David Tennant.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge 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 there was a spate 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 like, like regular TVs?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Before streaming?

This incredible thing that they did.

Remember like they used to leave you with a cliffhanger every week and it's sort of like, you know, kept the 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 favorite job of all time.

With Jenna?

Other than, yes.

It was so fun.

You did it yesterday.

I went, I popped in and said hello yesterday, yeah.

When did Scarlett Johansson host us now?

Have you got the jacket?

Have you done 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.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I just hosted it.

Yeah.

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.

So good.

Where did Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost meet?

We met at SNL just a couple of weeks ago.

That said finale.

Why Scarlett Johansson is not on social media?

I don't, because I don't, I just, it's just not my thing.

It's a different, it's a world that.

It's not my thing.

It's nice.

Yeah.

Go on.

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, I've 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 Fierro, I went to meet John Chu, and the first question, I was like, have you cast the 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 pop and say hello.

Does he know, does he remember you instead?

Yeah, we really, you know when you work, I mean, you're like literally the horse whisperer.

Yeah.

Yeah, we did, we really bond it.

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.

Mm-hmm.

It's a beautiful thing.

Oh, 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 Louis sees a dinosaur, he just has to flip.

He flips out.

Did you learn that in like, when you were a kid?

Yeah, I did, yeah.

In gymnastics?

I did gymnastics.

Can you do a back walkover?

I used, I probably could after a dirty martini.

That sounds dangerous.

So at the time when you come back from being a dinosaur, I'll do it.

I'll start bending backwards.

Jonathan Bailey glasses, Jurassic Park.

Tell us about them.

The answer is yes.

When we had the costume fitting, there were like 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 don't know about 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.

Oh, yeah, she fights.

She fights social media.

You guys, the boards don't lie.

That was the truth right there.

The tea was spilled.

As I was naked before you.

She's been Scarlet.

And he has been Jonathan Bailey.

And I hope you weren't bored with our boards.
