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 now 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.
HITTING BACK
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.'

All the celebs lined up for Strictly 2025 from Love Island winner to BBC star and hero Olympian

THE Strictly Come Dancing 2025 launch is fast approaching - and if the rumoured line-up is anything to go by, fans are in for one of the best series yet. The reigning Strictly champ is comedian Chris McCausland, who lifted the Glitter Ball trophy last year with Dianne Buswell. 8 But this year names heavily tipped to take to the dancefloor include winners of huge shows such as Love Island and I'm a Celebrity, as well as an Olympic legend. Here's all the famous faces reported to be signing up for Strictly this year. Dani Dyer 8 It's already been a huge year for Dani, 28, after she tied the knot with West Ham footballer Jarrod Bowen. But Dani, the daughter of actor Danny Dyer, is in talks to waltz onto Strictly later this year, as The Sun revealed in June. The mum-of-three is no stranger to winning reality shows, after scooping the £50,000 Love Island prize with ex-boyfriend Jack Fincham in 2018. Stefan Dennis 8 Actor Stefan, 66, will show fans a very different side to him after The Sun revealed he's signed up for Strictly. The Neighbours legend has played Ramsay Street lothario Paul Robinson since the first episode in 1985. But, after the Australian soap filmed its final episode earlier this month, Stefan is free to explore other options. Vicky Pattison 8 She's been a permanent fixture on our screens since shooting to fame on Geordie Shore in 2011. And 37-year-old Vicky 's popularity among viewers was cemented when she won the 2015 series of I'm a Celebrity. Shirley Ballas reveals Strictly's new signings and teases line-up is 'off the charts' The Sun confirmed this month how Vicky had been offered a place in this year's line-up, and she previously told us - while she'd love to do the show - she'll struggle with the dances. She said: 'I've done my fair share of reality TV and I'd never say never to anything but I'm not a dancer, at all.' Jake Brown 8 After winning series three of BBC smash The Traitors, Jake, 26, is set to put his best foot forward in the race for the Glitter Ball later this year. The Sun recently told how bosses are eyeing Jake up after waiving their 'no reality star' rule. A source told us: "Strictly bosses think Jake would be the perfect fit for this year's line-up."He's a good guy, as viewers saw by his journey on The Traitors, so he will be popular with the fanbase and they love to cross-promote with other huge BBC shows." Balvinder Sopal Actress Balvinder, 46, has become a firm soap favourite since joining EastEnders as Suki Panesar in 2020. EastEnders stars have historically done very well on Strictly and The Sun recently told how Balvinder is set to follow in the footsteps of the likes of Jamie Borthwick, Kellie Bright and Jake Wood. A source said: 'EastEnders has been a happy hunting ground for Strictly bosses since the show first aired and they believe Balvinder will be a huge hit with fans. 'She's excited by the prospect, too, as she feels viewers will see a different side to her.' Sir Mo Farah Iconic Olympian Mo, 42, is no stranger to winning after receiving four gold medals during his career. He might be quick on his feet but there's no doubt the Quickstep will be a new challenge for Mo. And he's had already had a taste of reality TV, after coming fifth in I'm A Celebrity in 2020 when it filmed in Wales because of Covid. Earlier this year he was unveiled as Giant Joel on The Masked Singer. Angellica Bell Presenter Angellica, 49, has been entertaining the nation since joining CBBC in 2000. Since then she's enjoyed a successful broadcasting career and in 2017 she won Celebrity MasterChef. After her stint in the Celebrity Big Brother house earlier this year, Angellica is now in talks to show off what she can do on the Strictly dancefloor.

For almost 15 years it has been dubbed the most famous bench in proudly on the sixth tee at Royal Portrush, with views of the beach below and coast for miles either side, it has gone viral at this year's of the sport's biggest names - including Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler and Jon Rahm - have all been pictured resting up at the back end of the inscription reads: "Jim McDowell - from just a few of his many golfing friends to mark the occasion of his 70th birthday". But what is the story behind it? It involves camaraderie and friendship, something at the heart of golf. "Dad's not with us any more but he used to play every Wednesday at Royal Portrush with a group of hackers," said Jim's daughter, Zoe. "They had the best time and they would have a wee regroup at the halfway house and play pretty well on the back nine. "They eventually all became friends and it was a really eclectic mix of people that Dad brought together, so they decided on his 70th they would chip in and get him a bench." Zoe said the secretary of Royal Portrush at the time picked the location on the iconic sixth tee and it was unveiled as a surprise to Jim for his big day."She knew the lie of the land and we think she picked the best spot," Zoe added."It was a surprise for him and it's been a joy to enjoy it ever since. "Dad was really excited because he was one of the few people to get a bench while they were still alive. He would often sit on it with his friends and have the craic. "There have been a lot of stories and family memories from the bench, and now it's been amazing to see so many people from this Open enjoying it."Claire, Jim's other daughter, said her father "would have absolutely loved" seeing some of the sport's biggest names enjoy his bench at the sisters added that they come and visit the bench every year to reflect on memories of their dad. In Claire's words, "most people go to a grave. We go to a bench"."We were so excited and we know Dad would have got such a kick from it," she said while enjoying the Open with Zoe on Saturday."He would have loved it if he was still here. "It's been a bit mad, but we always thought it was the best bench in golf. There was never any dispute around that for us, it's pretty cool." The bench is a legacy of friendship - in a way that only a sport like golf can provide - and now others can enjoy a moment of tranquillity, reflection or craic - including some of the sport's biggest names.

Nepo baby with famous British mother stuns in gold minidress - can you guess who she is?

This nepo baby is the daughter of a famous British DJ and TV personality who left the UK to raise her family in swanky Beverly Hills. The 23-year-old features regularly on her mum's social media including one recent snap where she stunned in a leggy gold mini dress. Her mother found fame presenting iconic 90s show The Word with Terry Christian and Dani Behr, before going on to present MTV and BBC Radio 1's Breakfast show. She famously fell foul of BBC bosses and reportedly given her 'final warning' in 1998 while hosting from Ibiza after a night of partying at the notorious Manumission club made her miss her early morning show. Lisa left the station by 'amicable agreement' six months later and would go on to appear in 2005's Celebrity Big Brother before jumping the pond. But can you guess who this nepo baby is? It's Deia Pizzey, the daughter of Lisa I'Anson, 60, who shares the youngster with record producer husband Amos Pizzey, who has worked with the likes of Culture Club and Kanye West. Together the couple are also parents to son Dylan and Lisa regularly posts updates of family life to her Instagram grid.

Already ?! …' during her stint in CBB Lisa clashed with late racing pundit John McCririck, after he suggested housemate Brigitte Nielsen grow her 'awful' hair over her wrinkles. 'Why don't you just grow your hair over it? You've got awful hair! One of the best things about women is their hair and you've got boy's hair!' Lisa quipped: 'Should we really be taking fashion advice from YOU?' While Caprice added: 'We're not telling you how you look. You want us to go there?' John refused to apologise for his remarks and was chased around the bedroom by Brigitte who wanted to administer a punishment of light-hearted spanking.

Might've gone a bit too hard while celebrating the new single coming out with the boys... 'Also seem to have lost my wallet if anyone finds it.' Meanwhile, Mark was left to host the show solo as Heart shared a post of the presenter ark looking lost as he tried to find Olly, only for his partying antics to have been recorded on CCTV.

Didn't know where he was. And someone has just sent this into the studio. Him out last night, caught on CCTV in a bar or a pub. So he's obviously out, had a late night and not turned up to the studio. Very professional Olly Murs, I like it. Yeah, very good.'

Olly's new single will be released on 25 July - and it's his first since 2022.
