Brad Pitt embraces Tom Cruise at F1: The Movie premiere
Hollywood stars Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise were seen embracing and posing for photographs at the European premiere of F1: The Movie.
Pitt was sporting a green suit while attending the premiere in London of the motoring film, which follows a Formula One driver, Sonny Hayes, who comes out of retirement to help mentor a younger driver.
On the carpet, the 61-year-old was seen embracing Mission: Impossible star Cruise and posing in front of a sports car.
The pair previously worked together on the 1994 horror Interview With A Vampire.
Pitt recently told E! News that Cruise was 'so sweet' for showing support for the film, and when asked about working together again in a movie he said: 'I am not going to hang my ass off airplanes like that.
'When he does something again that's on the ground.'
Cruise is known for performing extreme stunts in the Mission: Impossible franchise, including scaling Dubai's Burj Khalifa skyscraper and riding a motorcycle off the edge of a cliff.
Pitt was also seen posing with his girlfriend Ines de Ramon, as well as his co-stars, including The Banshees Of Inisherin's Kerry Condon and Snowfall actor Damson Idris.
The cast posed next to Formula One Ferrari driver Sir Lewis Hamilton, who was dressed in all black.
Pitt is known for films including Fight Club, 12 Years A Slave and Moneyball and has received six Oscar nominations, winning two including best actor in a supporting role for Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood.
He is also known for Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, in which he played Lieutenant Aldo Raine.
He was formerly married to actress Angelina Jolie who he shares six children with.
The pair split up after Jolie filed for divorce in September 2016, which led to an eight-year legal battle with a settlement reached in December.

Box Office: ‘F1' Revs to $144 Million Globally, ‘Lilo & Stitch' Nears $950 Million Milestone
Brad Pitt's original racing drama 'F1' drove to the top of the box office charts, collecting a sizable $88.4 million internationally and $144 million globally in its opening weekend. The film, from director Joseph Kosinski and producers Jerry Bruckheimer and Formula One champ Lewis Hamilton, follows a retired driver (Pitt) who returns to the popular motorsport to coach a cocksure rookie (Damson Idris) and save a failing team. Outside of the U.S. and Canada, where 'F1' zoomed to $55.6 million, the top-earning territories were the United Kingdom with $9.2 million, China with $9 million and Mexico with $6.7 million. More from Variety 'M3GAN 2.0' Star Allison Williams on Making The Android an 'Action Star' and Crafting Another Unforgettable Musical Moment Brad Pitt's 'F1' Delivers Apple's First Box Office Hit With $55.6 Million Debut, 'M3GAN 2.0' Fizzles With $10 Million 'M3GAN 2.0' Costume Designer on How Farrah Fawcett and Judy Jetson Inspired M3GAN's Armor 'F1' marks the first commercial win for Apple, which has previously backed underperforming big screen offerings like 'Killers of the Flower Moon,' 'Napoleon' and 'Argylle.' Against a nearly $250 million production budget and massive marketing spend, 'F1' will need significantly more ticket sales to break even and turn a theatrical profit. But this is Apple's closest attempt to all-audience blockbuster status and will soon overtake 'Napoleon' ($221 million globally) as the company's highest-grossing release. And 'F1' is expected to benefit in the coming weeks from solid reviews, positive word-of-mouth and Imax screens before landing on the company's streamer, Apple TV+. Since Apple doesn't have a distribution arm, the tech giant is paying Warner Bros. to put the film in theaters; the Burbank-based studio will also receive a percentage of theatrical revenues that increases with certain box office benchmarks. 'F1' also represents a victory for Imax, whose cameras were used to film the ultra-immersive, high-speed racing sequences. Imax screens accounted for $11.1 million overseas and $27.7 million globally, representing 19% of overall revenues — the fourth-highest percentage in Imax's history. ''F1' has inspired audiences around the globe with its underdog story and perfect blend of high-octane racing and human-centered storytelling,' says Apple's head of worldwide video Zack Van Amburg. 'The film's outstanding debut reflects both the excitement of Formula 1 and the deeply emotional and entertaining story crafted by the entire cast and creative team. Their dedication and innovation have fueled an unforgettable cinematic experience.' In terms of other newcomers, Universal and Blumhouse's A.I. thriller 'M3GAN 2.0' flatlined with $7 million from 80 international markets. Mexico earned a leading $1.2 million, followed by the U.K. and Ireland with $700,000 and Brazil with $400,000. Along with $10.2 million domestically, 'M3GAN 2.0' has grossed a soft $17 million in its first weekend of release. With weak reviews and seemingly diminished audience interest, the campy horror sequel failed to achieve the box office heights of 2023's 'M3GAN,' which ignited to $15 million overseas and $45 million globally. The original became a sleeper hit with $180 million worldwide, which explains the studio's justification for the follow-up film set around the scream queen who became a meme queen. Fortunately for the studio, 'M3GAN 2.0' cost a modest $25 million, so potential theatrical losses won't be too painful. Plus, Universal is flying high with 'How to Train Your Dragon,' which added $32 million internationally in its third frame. The live-action remake has earned $254 million overseas and $454 million worldwide to date, underscoring the enduring appeal of the fantastical property. Universal has the live-action sequel set for 2027. PG films have been dominating at the box office with 'Lilo & Stitch' adding $13.1 million from 52 markets for a massive overseas tally of $545 million. After six weekends on the big screen, the live-action 'Lilo & Stitch' is about to cross the $950 million milestone (with $946 million globally so far) and has $1 billion on the horizon. A live-action sequel to 'Lilo & Stitch' is also in the works. Not every movie with a family friendly rating is electrifying the box office. Disney's original Pixar adventure 'Elio' brought in just $11.4 million from 48 territories in its sophomore outing. After notching the worst start in Pixar history, 'Elio' has grossed $30 million overseas and $73 million worldwide. Though positive word-of-mouth should help the film endure throughout the summer, 'Elio' is nowhere near on track to earn enough to justify its $150 million production budget.

Apple's F1 laps its competition with a $144 million opening weekend
Apple's film studio finally has a successful summer blockbuster to its name with its latest sports drama flick starring Brad Pitt. F1 the Movie saw an opening weekend that earned $144 million globally and $55.6 million domestically, according to Comscore numbers. Apple Original Films' feature beat out other highly anticipated releases like the live-action remake, How to Train Your Dragon , and the third installment in the post-apocalyptic horror film series, 28 Years Later. The action-drama movie follows Pitt's character, Sonny Hayes, who's tapped to support an up-and-coming Formula One driver. With reports of the film costing up to $300 million to produce and market, F1 the Movie was a risky venture for Apple, considering the lackluster performances with its other films' opening weekends like Argylle and Fly Me to the Moon . However, Apple's film studio gamble paid off since the opening weekend numbers for F1 the Movie shattered its previous records and is projected to continue its momentum. Despite the early success, Apple may have inadvertently soured some of its users on the movie, thanks to shoving an advertisement for F1 the Movie into its Wallet app.
