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.

Lauren Sánchez's wedding dress steals the show in Venice
Lauren Sánchez dazzled guests and fashion watchers alike when she wed Jeff Bezos in Venice on Friday. The ceremony, held on the historic island of San Giorgio Maggiore, was the centrepiece of a three-day celebration. The ceremony drew in celebrities, royalty, and global attention. Sánchez chose a custom Dolce & Gabbana gown for her wedding. The dress was inspired by the high-necked lace gown worn by Sophia Loren in the 1958 film Houseboat . 'I wanted something that evokes a moment, and where I am right now. I am a different person than I was five years ago,' Sánchez, according to Page Six. Lauren Sánchez added, 'I researched pictures of brides in the 1950s. I saw Sophia Loren, and her hands were in a prayer position. She was in high lace, up to the neck, and I said, 'That's it. That's the dress.' The gown featured: A high turtleneck and long sleeves A corseted waist, accentuating Sánchez's figure 180 silk chiffon-covered buttons running from neck to floor Hand-appliquéd Italian lace throughout A mermaid-style skirt with a dramatic train A lace-trimmed veil, worn over a sleek bun Sánchez completed her look with Dolce & Gabbana Alta Gioielleria Miracolo earrings. The earrings featured four diamonds cut from a single stone and set in white gold as her 'something borrowed'. Sánchez admitted that her choice was unexpected. 'It is a departure from what people expect—from what I expect—but it's very much me,' she said. Lauren Sánchez kept the dress a secret from Bezos until the day of the ceremony. 'As you get a little older, not many things surprise you. I can't wait to see his face,' she told Vogue . The wedding was not just a single-dress affair. For the wedding dinner, Sánchez changed into a second corseted gown inspired by Rita Hayworth's iconic look in Gilda . Later, she donned an Oscar de la Renta cocktail dress adorned with 175,000 crystals for the party. Dolce & Gabbana was a meaningful choice for Sánchez. Her son, Nikko Gonzalez, made his modelling debut for the brand earlier this year. Lauren Sánchez herself has attended their shows, often seated in the front row. The wedding's estimated cost was around $50 million—about R900 million—making it one of the most expensive celebrity weddings in recent memory.

REVIEW: Lego's Speed Champions F1, an adrenaline build
Speed Champions basically puts racing car lovers in the driver's seat. With Formula One fever revving up in South Africa, with a grand prix expected possibly in 2027, the country is lapping up racing merchandise, including Lego's Speed Champions F1 cars. As a massive F1 fan, I was excited to hear of the partnership between F1 and Lego when it was unveiled in November 2024. F1 If you love to build, the Lego Speed Champions F1 cars will heighten your F1 fever and tenacity to be a kid again as excitement builds in South Africa for lineup of Red Bulls Max Verstappen, Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton and McLaren's Lando Norris on the starting grid. With lots of parts, techniques and a large array of drivers and sponsors, Lego has gone all out with this review starting with a…..NEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOWWWWWWW! The Lego Speed Champions feature F1 cars currently racing on the Formula One circuit and with a F1 Grand Prix possibly being held in South Africa in 2027, these racers are getting a lot of attention., Speed Champions basically puts racing car lovers in the driver's seat with realistic vehicle models from familiar racing competitors. ALSO READ: Lego Formula One cars at Miami Grand Prix ignite F1 fever in SA Build I found the cars easy to build and not particularly challenging. If you work really fast, you can build the F1 car of your choice in 30 to 60 minutes. Each set consists of six bags in total, with the build completed in three separate sections. In addition, each set comes with a plethora of stickers which replicate the true F1 car as they are all covered in sponsors to help promote the team. Small While speed is the essence of F1 cars, no pun is intended when I say that the sets were a quick build and somewhat slightly faded the brain teaser of where the next part goes. All 10 current F1 team constructors are represented. Individually, each car is not a big build. The Ferrari, for example, is just 275 pieces, while the Mercedes is 267. The cars themselves are also quite small, coming in at 20cm in length and only 8cm wide. When you compare these measures to their Lego Technic counterparts, such as the McLaren Technic set, they are considerably smaller, which is a bit disappointing. However, this is particularly beneficial for storage reasons, as they take up less space on the shelf, allowing for more room for Lego. Availability and pricing Although I have only experienced three of the 10 builds, these sets are a must for every F1 fan, albeit some very minor issues including under-detailed racing suit and the price is a bit high, but the high level of detail goes some way to justify the asking price. Lego's Speed Champions F1 cars include Ferrari, Mercedes, Alpine, Williams, Haas, McLaren, Aston Martin, Red Bull, Sauber and Visa Cash RB. They retail for R499 each.
