Brad Pitt rocks a bold green suit as he embraces Tom Cruise at film premiere
Brad Pitt has the lead role in F1 The Movie, which is based on the Formula One World Championship, and is created in collaboration with the FIA, its governing body
It is easy being green after all - if you're two-time BAFTA winner Brad Pitt.
The Hollywood legend donned a verdant hue at the European premiere of F1 The Movie in London last night. He has a lead role in the sports drama, which sees a retired Formula One driver enticed out of retirement to help mentor a younger driver.
And joined by his girlfriend Ines de Ramon, Pitt, 61, looked dapper in the green suit. He also embraced Tom Cruise on the red carpet as, although he is not in F1 The Movie, Cruise has shown his support for the epic blockbuster, which has a $200million (£148million) budget.
Speaking previously, Pitt said Cruise was "so sweet" for backing the film, and when asked about working together again in a movie he said: "I am not going to hang my ass off airplanes like that...When he does something again that's on the ground."
Met Gala: Damson Idris' bold arrival at iconic fashion event is nod at his Tommy Hilfiger role
Damson Idris, who has been in The Banshees Of Inisherin's Kerry Condon and Snowfall, plays the young prodigy in the movie. He arrived at the Met Gala in a racing suit in May in homage to the film.
And, last night, he and the rest of the cast posed next to Formula One Ferrari driver Sir Lewis Hamilton, who was dressed in all black. Hamilton and the nine other F1 drivers in the 2023 season, such as Max Verstappen, will appear in the film, created in collaboration with the FIA, Formula One World Championship's governing body.
Cruise, who worked with Pitt in the 1994 horror Interview With A Vampire, was snapped on the red carpet too. With F1 The Movie likely to be a dramatic, high-energy number, viewers could expect some stunts - though not as death-defying as Cruise's scaling of Dubai's Burj Khalifa skyscraper and riding a motorcycle off the edge of a cliff in the popular Mission: Impossible franchise. Pitt, whose own career has spanned more than three decades, showed his respect with warm embraces at the Leicester Square event.
Pitt, who has won two Golden Globe Awards, is known for films including Fight Club, 12 Years A Slave and Moneyball. The star has received six Oscar nominations, winning two including best actor in a supporting role for Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood.
He is also known for Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, in which he played Lieutenant Aldo Raine. Pitt, originally from Shawnee, Oklahoma, was formerly married to actress Angelina Jolie who he shares six children with. The pair split up after Jolie filed for divorce in September 2016, which led to an eight-year legal battle with a settlement reached in December.

Benfica vs Bayern Munich prediction, odds and betting offer
Two European heavyweights go head-to-head in the final group stage match but with Bayern Munich already in the next round this could well benefit Benfica Bayern Munich have already secured their spot in the last-16 of the Club World Cup, and as they approach their final Group C clash against Benfica, the German champions are unlikely to take it easy. A draw would work well for both sides, ensuring Bayern top the group while Benfica advance to the knockout stage. However, given Benfica's recent struggles, avoiding a sixth consecutive defeat to Bayern might be a tall order. In their previous Champions League encounter in November, Jamal Musiala netted the crucial goal for Bayern. Although Musiala might miss this match due to fitness concerns, Bayern's strength is likely to shine through once more. Bayern kicked off their Club World Cup journey with a staggering 10-0 victory against Auckland City, where Musiala made a memorable appearance from the bench, scoring a rapid hat-trick in just 16 minutes. While Bayern surged to a 4-0 lead within 21 minutes against Auckland, Benfica managed to fend them off until first-half injury time during their own encounter, when Angel Di Maria's penalty salvaged some pride for the Portuguese side. Bruno Lage's team has faced setbacks recently, narrowly missing out on the Primeira Liga title and falling short in the Portuguese Cup final after extra time against Sporting. On matchday one, Benfica showed resilience by clawing back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with Boca Juniors, despite veteran Nicolas Otamendi scoring both for and against his team. The game also saw Andrea Belotti sent off and left-back Alvaro Carreras suspended, adding to manager Lage's woes after a heated exchange with Orkun Kokcu following his substitution against Auckland. Conversely, Bayern's camp seems much more harmonious under Vincent Kompany's leadership as they reclaimed the Bundesliga title. Star striker Harry Kane opened the scoring against Boca Juniors before Michael Olise sealed an 84th-minute winner. After being ousted by Inter in the Champions League quarter-finals, Bayern look poised to make a strong run in the Club World Cup and are expected to round off their Group C campaign flawlessly.

Brad Pitt reveals alcoholism battle and says he needed to "wake the f*** up"
The Oscar-winning star of films such as Bullet Train, F1: The Movie and Oceans Eleven revealed his efforts to stop boozing on the Armchair Expert podcast on Monday and didn't hold back. Brad Pitt has opened up to reveal his devastating battle with alcoholism and the lengths he went to in order to get sober. The Oscar-winning star of films such as Bullet Train, F1: The Movie and Oceans Eleven revealed his efforts to stop boozing on the Armchair Expert podcast on Monday and didn't hold back. Pitt, 61, says he reached out to everyone he knew for help and finally joined Alcoholics Anonymous despite initial nerves. He said: "I was pretty much on my knees, and I was really open. I was trying anything and everyone. Anything anyone threw at me. It was a difficult time. I needed rebooting.' Speaking about attending his first AA meeting, Pitt admitted he was pretty "shy" a first. "I'm generally a bit shy in any situation at first," the actor admitted. "But I don't know, I just remember getting my arms around it pretty quickly and it became a thing for me. It was really like something I'd look forward to." After a friend "assured" him that the group was a "safe place" Pitt said he felt more comfortable opening up. And at that point in his life, he was ready to do just that. "I am a stubborn f--k, but when I've stepped in s--t, I'm pretty good at taking responsibility for it and owning up to it, and now it's a quest to… what I do with this and how do I right this and make sure this doesn't happen again. So I was really opening to that," the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star shared. Pitt described the experience of attending AA meetings as a positive one. "I just thought it was just incredible men sharing their experiences, their foibles, their missteps, their wants, their aches, and a lot of humour with it," Pitt said. 'I thought it was a really special experience." Pitt previously opened up about getting sober following his 2016 split from Angelina Jolie. In a 2019 interview with the New York Times, he revealed that the divorce was the wake-up call he needed. "I had taken things as far as I could take it, so I removed my drinking privileges," he told NYT at the time. "You had all these men sitting around being open and honest in a way I have never heard. It was this safe space where there was little judgment, and therefore little judgment of yourself." Having recently completed his divorce from Jolie, Pitt is currently dating Ines de Ramon, 32. Us Weekly also reported that Pitt is still estranged from most of his six children with Angelina - Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, and 16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. Sources said that he had 'made several efforts to reconnect with his kids,' but he was only able to regularly spend time with the twins, as they are his only children who are still affected by his and Angelina's custody agreement because they are minors. His relationships with the older four all said to be 'strained'.
