Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise reunite at F1 London premiere
Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise reunited publicly for the first time in 24 years at the European premiere of F1: The Movie in London's Leicester Square. The two Hollywood icons, who last starred together in 1994's Interview With the Vampire , shared a warm embrace and posed arm in arm on the red carpet. This delighted fans and sparked excitement about a possible future collaboration. Brad Pitt, 61, looked sharp in a hunter green double-breasted suit paired with a mint green scarf and tortoise shell sunglasses. Cruise, 62, wore his signature aviators with a classic grey suit, according to Page Six. The pair appeared relaxed and jovial, with Cruise even patting Pitt's lapel and the two sharing laughs throughout the evening. The reunion marked their first joint public appearance since 2001. That year, they were photographed together at the 9/11 benefit concert America: A Tribute to Heroes in Los Angeles. Since then, both actors have carved distinct paths: Pitt has earned two Academy Awards. Tom Cruise has continued his action-packed career with the Mission: Impossible franchise. Pitt recently joked about a potential on-screen reunion with Cruise, saying he'd only join him if the stunts stayed 'on the ground.' 'I'm not going to hang my ass off airplanes and s–t like that,' Pitt told E! News. 'So when he does something again that's on the ground, [then yes].' Tom Cruise, meanwhile, reminisced about their friendly go-kart racing during the filming of Interview With the Vampire . He called Pitt a 'very good driver.' Pitt admitted, 'He got me in the end, I gotta admit.' The premiere also featured appearances by F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali and seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton. Brad Pitt stars as Sonny Hayes, a retired Formula One driver mentoring a rising star, played by Damson Idris. The film, directed by Joseph Kosinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, opens in cinemas on 27 June. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.
