Colin seemed to be in good spirits as he chatted it up with several other surfers during the solo day on the beach.
The outing came just days after he admitted he ‘worries’ about being pigeonholed as Scarlett Johansson’s fiance while talking to Howard Stern to promote his new book A Very Punchable Face.
Asked if he thinks about becoming ‘cliche’ arm candy, the comic told Stern: ‘Yes. That was definitely a worry. I worried about my identity with it and also with comedy… So, I was always worried about anything that felt non-comedy.’

Busy: No doubt the day of the beach came at a good time as he has been doing press to promote his book
‘I don’t think it’s really happened that I’ve experienced it yet since we’ve been dating,’ he said.
He had a good strategy for how to prevent any love scenes in the future, joking, ‘I’m gonna try and push her into a lot more animated stuff. Just all voice work.’
Jost went on, admitting that while a love scene or the like probably would have bothered him when younger, he has grown out of that sort of jealousy.

‘I think probably five, ten years ago each of these things that you’ve described would have been devastating.’
‘If people want to be together and love each other, they’re going to be together. And you have to kind of have faith in that on some level and if not then you’re not going to be.’
In his book Colin writes about his first impression upon meeting Scarlett back in 2006, calling the then 20-year-old starlet ‘intimidatingly sophisticated.’
