Brad Pitt embraces Tom Cruise at F1: The Movie premiere
Pitt was sporting a green suit while attending the premiere in London of the motoring film, which follows a Formula One driver, Sonny Hayes, who comes out of retirement to help mentor a younger driver.
On the carpet, the 61-year-old was seen embracing Mission: Impossible star Cruise and posing in front of a sports car.
The pair previously worked together on the 1994 horror Interview With A Vampire.
Pitt recently told E! News that Cruise was 'so sweet' for showing support for 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.'
Cruise is known for performing extreme stunts in the Mission: Impossible franchise, including scaling Dubai's Burj Khalifa skyscraper and riding a motorcycle off the edge of a cliff.
Pitt was also seen posing with his girlfriend Ines de Ramon, as well as his co-stars, including The Banshees Of Inisherin's Kerry Condon and Snowfall actor Damson Idris.
The cast posed next to Formula One Ferrari driver Sir Lewis Hamilton, who was dressed in all black.
Pitt is known for films including Fight Club, 12 Years A Slave and Moneyball and 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.
He 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.

Brad Pitt says he needed ‘rebooting' and looked forward to AA meetings
The 61-year old actor, who stars in the new film F1: The Movie, reportedly began attending the men's group meetings after his former partner and film star, Angelina Jolie, filed for divorce in September 2016. Speaking on the podcast Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard, he described attending the AA meetings as an 'amazing experience'. Pitt 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. I needed to wake the f*** up in some areas. And it just meant a lot to me. 'It was really moving. Some of these men were so moving. 'What an amazing thing this experience was for me. It was a men's group was AA, it was when I first was getting sober. I just thought it was just incredible men sharing their experiences, their foibles, their missteps, their wants, their aches, and lot of humour with it. 'I thought it was a really special experience.' The divorce led to a long-running legal battle between the two stars, with a settlement reached in December. Pitt shares six children with Jolie with one of them, a daughter, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, becoming the first to request a legal name change in May. Prior to Jolie, he was married to Friends star Jennifer Aniston until their split in 2005. He added that he was a little shy when he first attended the meetings but that it later became something he looked 'forward to'. Pitt said: 'When I've stepped in shit, I'm pretty good at taking responsibility for it, owning up to it. 'How can I write this and make sure it doesn't happen again, or just be better. Step up. 'So I was really open to that, and I was really open to see what these guys were doing, who had their thing and been there for a while. Sure, I was a bit shy. I can generally be a bit shy in any kind of situation at first, but I just remember getting my arms around it pretty quickly, and it became a thing for me. It was really something I'd look forward to.' The award-winning actor is known for films including Fight Club, 12 Years A Slave and Moneyball and has received six Oscar nominations, taking two home including actor in a supporting role for Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood. He appears in F1: The Movie which follows a racer as he tries to lead a struggling Formula 1 team. The film stars Pitt alongside Snowfall star Damson Idris and Kerry Condon, known for The Banshees Of Inisherin. Pitt attended the European Premiere for F1: The Movie in London on Monday and posed for photographs with Mission Impossible star Tom Cruise.

'F1' film puts viewers in the driver's seat for a tale of second chances
LONDON, June 23 (Reuters) - Brad Pitt is itching to return to the racing tracks after making "F1", a movie that takes audiences into the action of real Formula One races and mixes in romance and humour. Directed and co-written by "Top Gun: Maverick" filmmaker Joseph Kosinski, "F1" was partly filmed during Formula One Grand Prix weekends, with scenes shot on the circuits during breaks and real drivers also appearing on screen. Pitt plays an unruly racer-for-hire, who returns to Formula One to help his friend's struggling team and mentor its rookie driver, played by Damson Idris. Pitt and Idris did their own driving in the movie, combining top speeds with acting. The aim for authenticity made the project physically testing for the two. "It's real. You got to put in the neck exercises. And we're not even pulling the G's that the real guys are doing," Pitt said at the film's European premiere in London on Monday. "I was in the gym a lot. It was cold plunges afterwards just for recovery," Pitt, 61, said. "It's insane," said Idris in an interview. "You're driving up to 180 miles per hour sometimes. I have to say the lines at this specific place and I have to emote in a way that's going to translate through the eyes at those speeds. When you watch the film, you feel you're driving as a viewer, and that was our intention." Getting the balance right for viewers with varying levels of familiarity with the sport was also key, said Kosinski. "If you're a diehard Formula One fan, you're going to find some Easter eggs, you're going to recognise some historical stuff that I think will be interesting. But we also designed the movie so that if you know nothing about Formula One, if you have no interest in motor sports whatsoever, this is just a great story about second chances, teamwork and friendship," he said. Monday's premiere came just days after Pitt got to drive a Formula One car for real after testing a McLaren at Austin's Circuit of the Americas. The cars used in the film were Formula Two cars, modified to look like real grand prix racers. "Ask me how fast I went. Three mph short of 200 mph," Pitt said of the experience. "I want to go back. I want to hit 200." "F1" begins its global cinematic rollout on June 25.
