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.

Brad Pitt the latest victim of home burglary
Burglars broke into Brad Pitt's Los Angeles home on Thursday, ransacking the property and fleeing with stolen items while the Oscar-winning actor was traveling to promote his new racing thriller 'F1,' US media reported. A Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson told NBC News that a break-in took place at a residence in the Los Feliz neighbourhood around 22:30, without officially confirming who owned the home. Police sources told NBC News and the Los Angeles Times that three suspects climbed over a front fence and broke in through the home's front window before ransacking the location and fleeing with some belongings. The value of the stolen items has not been disclosed. Pitt was not home at the time, as he has been on a global promotional tour for his new movie 'F1.' The 61-year-old actor attended the film's premiere in London this week. The property was purchased by Pitt in 2023 for $5.5 million, according to Variety magazine.

Gasly heading to Hollywood if Alpine don't improve
French Formula One driver Pierre Gasly responded to Brad Pitt praising his acting potential by joking he might have to head to Hollywood if Alpine stayed last in the championship. Pitt, star of the movie F1 released this week, was asked at a recent New York premiere which drivers might have a future in Hollywood. "I'm going to give Carlos Sainz, he's definite, I'm going to say Pierre Gasly. I think he's got a feel for it," he told ABC television. "And of course Lewis (Hamilton) can do anything." Gasly told reporters at the Austrian Grand Prix that Pitt's comments had delighted his mother. "I must say it clearly made my mom pretty happy. She was very pleased to be the first in the family group chat to send it to all the family," he said. "Let's see how the season goes, but hopefully we score a few more points. Otherwise you might see me in Hollywood." Gasly, who has scored all of Alpine's 11 points with the team in some turmoil after the departure of principal Oliver Oakes and resignation of Renault boss Luca de Meo, said he had no acting experience. "I think it's the French side of me. I can play a French lover or something like that," he said.
