Scarlett Johansson’s husband Colin Jost has showed off a gruesome foot injury he sustained while reporting on the Olympics 2024.
The Saturday Night Live star, 42, said he hurt himself on the reef shortly after arriving in Tahiti for the surfing competition.
He posted a picture of his foot with bloodied toes on Instagram and captioned the post: ‘This might ruin my WikiFeet score but I just arrived in Tahiti for the surfing Olympics and the reef was excited to greet me.’
Colin later shared an image of his foot with three of his toes in bandages and quipped: ‘You know it’s going great when you’ve been to the Olympic medical tent more than any of the athletes.’
The performer’s fans empathised with him over his injury but also could not resist making a few jokes in the spirit of the funnyman.
On Instagram, @marias.nat quipped: ‘I will give you money to stop showing your feet. Please.’
@mymorningbrews joked: ‘This is the worst OnlyFans page.’
@maryinstafamous also added: ‘You can use the “It’s an old Olympics injury” for the rest of your life now.’
It was announced earlier this year that Colin would cover the Olympics from Tahiti for NBC, thousands of miles away from the games’ primary location in Paris.
Reacting to Colin’s appointment, his wife Scarlett, 40, previously joked: ‘I’m like, how did he get this gig?’
She told Today’s Savannah Guthrie: ‘When they announced the Paris Olympics, he immediately found out that they were doing the surf competition in Tahiti, which is so cool. He loves to surf, we have a place in Montauk, he’s always out there surfing
The Fly Me To The Moon actress added while drawing a fake tear on her cheek: ‘And somehow the dream became a reality, and now he’s going to be in Tahiti for two weeks, and I’m like, “Poor you.”‘
Scarlett continued: ‘He’s like, “Poor me, I’m going to be all over the place,” and I’m like, “Are you?”
‘I think if you can have a pina colada on air while you’re working, that’s not technically work.’
Colin and Scarlett tied the knot in a low key wedding in 2020 after three years of dating, which they revealed through a statement from Meals on Wheels America.
The following year they welcomed their first child together, a son called Cosmo.
Announcing their baby’s birth on Instagram, the comedian said: ‘Ok ok we had a baby. His name is Cosmo. We love him very much. Privacy would be greatly appreciated.’
Scarlett is already mum to nine-year-old daughter Rose with her ex-husband Romain Dauriac.
The Marriage Story actress was also previously married to Ryan Reynolds from 2008 to 2011.
Colin, who fronts Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update, dated Parks & Recreation star Rashida Jones for three years until 2016.
