Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise reunite at F1 London premiere, three decades after sinking their teeth into Interview with the Vampire
Fans were in for a treat on June 23 when Tom Cruise made a surprise appearance to support Brad Pitt at the London premiere of the much-anticipated film F1. The red carpet moment quickly stole the spotlight as the two actors, who starred together in Interview with the Vampire nearly 30 years ago, reunited outside the Odeon Luxe in Leicester Square.
Their natural camaraderie instantly became one of the highlights of the night, sparking a wave of nostalgia among long-time fans who've been hoping to see the pair share a moment like this again in public.
Set in the high-speed world of professional racing, F1 stars Brad Pitt as a former Formula One driver who comes out of retirement to mentor a rising talent and take one last shot at redemption. Directed by Joseph Kosinski, who also helmed Top Gun: Maverick, the film blends on-track action with an underdog comeback story and is already generating major buzz ahead of its theatrical release on June 27.

While Pitt plays the lead, Tom Cruise, fresh off the success of his film, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, came out to support the premiere as a guest, making it the first time in decades the two A-listers have been seen together at a major public event. Their last on-screen collaboration was in the 1994 gothic cult classic Interview with the Vampire, where Cruise played the charming vampire Lestat and Pitt took on the role of the brooding Louis. The film was filled with dramatic striking visuals, and seeing the two of them reconnect definitely made for a moment that will go down well in Hollywood history.

Vidya Balan rejected a film that starred THIS celebrated actor, he got upset and
Vidya Balan rejected a film that starred THIS celebrated actor, he got upset and "fired" her, terrified Vidya asked John Abraham to save her, the actor was... In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, it's usually the dazzling and glamorous life of celebrities that comes to the forefront. However, what happens behind the scenes, when the curtain falls, is a lot more than what meets the eye. One such tale is of Bollywood's celebrated actress Vidya Balan, which highlighted how she is honest and true to her craft. This incident goes back in time when Vidya Balan was a newcomer in the industry. She found herself in a pickle. Vidya was offered a role opposite Akshaye Khanna, an opportunity that a lot of newcomers dream of. However, Vidya couldn't resonate with the character and the story, so despite the big opportunity, she turned it down and rejected the offer. This decision did not sit well with Akshaye Khanna. Although Vidya had conveyed her disinterest in the film, she did not inform Akshay Khanna directly. Neither did she call Akshaye to inform him, nor did she take his calls. Naturally, Akshaye Khanna was upset with Vidya's exit from the film without even talking to him directly. Akshaye Khanna 'Fired' Vidya Balan Later, during the shoot of a multi-starrer film, Salaam-E-Ishq of Nikhil Advani, Akshaye Khanna lashed out at Vidya for learning about her exit from someone else. Vidya, who was a newcomer then, got concerned and frightened. To defend herself, she went to her co-star John Abraham for rescue. 'Can you please save me?' I just didn't want any confrontation or to hurt anyone's feelings. But later, I realised he was just pulling my leg,' she said. Akshaye Khanna reportedly 'fired' Vidya for this, but later she learned that this was all happening in light light-hearted spirit and Akshaye was just pulling her leg. This incident became an event worth remembering for Vidya. In an interview, talking about this incident, Vidya said, 'I didn't want anyone to feel bad. I was new and didn't want it to look like I was rejecting the film just because of who was in it.' Speaking of Vidya's recent work, she was last seen in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, alongside Kartik Aaryan, Madhuri Dixit, and Triptii Dimri, which released last Diwali and became a massive hit.
