Wearing a stonewash denim jacket, white T-shirt and matching jeans, Junior was all smiles as he posed for photographers at the VIP event.
With his jet black hair brushed forwards and an unshaved face, he looked like Peter's double on the red carpet.
The pair's resemblance was clear to see as they stood side-by-side at Genesis Cinema in London.
Junior, whose mother is Peter's ex wife Katie Price, even could have been mistaken for his dad back in his Mysterious Girl era.
Peter was also joined by his eldest daughter Princess, 17, who was also on hand to show her support.
Princess oozed glamour in a sophisticated black jumpsuit with a grey leather jacket slouched over her shoulders and matching thigh-high boots.
In the crime-comedy, which is directed by Fredi Nwaka and is out now in ODEON cinemas, Peter has taken on the role of Gary Buckle.
Gary is a London crook who is risking his life to pull off a heist to cover his nan's care.
This week, Peter sat down with The Sun to discuss playing conman Gazza, who must master a Caribbean accent and culture to impersonate a notorious Jamaican gangster for a £3million payout.
Chatting in an interview from his Surrey home, he said: 'When I read the script, I spent the whole time laughing.
Peter Andre opens up on bullying and racism he's suffered after being forced to delete his 'racist' Jamaican gangster movie trailer
It was warm, with a deep, heartfelt message about what someone would do to care for the person that they love. It was also a beautiful tribute to Jamaica.
'But for me, working on Jafaican has been a dream come true."
Although he is best known for his singing career, Peter explained how he had trained in acting as a child.
'I studied acting as a kid before going into music from 16, but I always knew I was going to come back to it," he admitted.
"I always said to my dad, 'When I get to my 40s, I'm moving back into film, that's what I want to do'.'
Jafaican has already been met with a heap of positive reviews and Peter is already making plans to star in the sequel.
It comes after he spent two months filming the first instalment in Jamaica, his 'bucket list' location, using local crew and businesses to feed money back into the economy.
Meanwhile, Peter has also spoken out about the bullying and racism he fell victim to as a Greek-Cypriot growing up in Australia.
His comments came after controversy around cultural identity was sparked over his fake Jamaican accent and dreadlocks when the trailer dropped last month.
"It gave me a deep understanding of what's truly offensive and what's not," Peter said.
'If someone dressed up with a curly wig and a big nose, doing a Greek accent, I'd probably laugh – it depends on the intention.
"But if someone said 'I hate you Greeks' or made hateful comments about our skin, that's where the line is. That's racism.'

Priyanka Chopra sizzles in an array of bikinis as she celebrates her 43rd birthday in the Bahamas with husband Nick Jonas and daughter Malti, three
Priyanka Chopra sizzled in an array of bikinis as she celebrated her 43rd birthday in the Bahamas this week. The actress has been joined by her husband Nick Jonas and their daughter Malti, three, in the idyllic location. She showed off her incredible figure in a blue and white striped number for one snap as she strolled into the ocean. In another she wore a flattering yellow two piece while posing on an ocean swing as Nick and Malti stood nearby. She also looked stunning in a floaty bright red dress as she showed off an elegant evening look. The brunette beauty penned in the caption of her post: 'Winning at life. Grateful. Thank you all for the birthday wishes, messages and calls. My heart is full.' She was enjoying the well-deserved break after a busy few months promoting her recent action-comedy Heads Of State. Last month she joined her costars John Cena and Idris Elba at the US premiere, which was held in Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City. John stars in the Amazon Prime Video film as a blockbuster action star who later becomes the President of the United States. Idris plays a former commando who rises to become Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, but despite his country's longstanding 'special relationship' with the US, the two world leaders have an ongoing rivalry. Their differences don't last long though when both become the targets of a global conspiracy, and Priyanka joins the fray as an MI6 agent who is ordered to keep the two leaders out of harm's way. Filming began in 2023 in London before moving to Liverpool, France and then on to Serbia. Paddy Considine, Stephen Root, Carla Gugino, Jack Quaid, Sarah Niles and Richard Coyle also star. The film was produced by Safran Company's Peter Safran and John Rickard. Elba and Cena are both also executive producers, along with Marcus Viscidi. The script was written by Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec, from draft by Harrison Query. Miley Cyrus recently gushed about Priyanka and her husband Nick Jonas - who Miley dated as a teenager. The Flowers singer, 32, reminisced on the time she dated the Jonas Brothers member, also 32, when they were both Disney stars and opened up about their current relationship. During an appearance on the Every Single Album podcast, Cyrus said that there's no bad blood between them despite their bad breakup, which she went on to describe in detail. 'I like Nick, I'm into him. He's married with children. We're all moving on. Everything is good in the world,' she said on the podcast. Then, she jokingly added, 'Niley for life,' as she referenced their past couple name. Nearly two decades ago, Cyrus and Jonas dated from 2006 to 2007 before briefly reconnecting in 2009. The Hannah Montana alum's songs, 7 Things and Before the Storm, are rumored to be about her relationship with him. During her podcast appearance, she opened up about their breakup after they dated on-and-off nearly two decades ago. She admitted that their first split left her 'distraught' and 'sobbing' before explaining why they mutually decided to break up. She said that 'part of the reason we broke up' was because he was going on tour with his band instead of opening for her. 'He was, like, separating himself from the Disney thing, and I wanted him to take me on the tour,' she recalled. 'Like, 'Why don't we do it together? I don't understand why you're leaving me.''
