Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise Reunite After Two Decades at London Premiere of F1

Hollywood icons Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise stunned fans as they shared a heartfelt reunion after 24 years, gracing the red carpet of Pitt’s latest film F1 in London. Their last red carpet appearance together was in 2001 at the America: A Tribute to Heroes concert.

Photos and videos from the premiere show the pair laughing, chatting, and embracing, sending fans into a frenzy. The duo posed for the cameras, looking every bit the legends they are—Pitt in a green shirt and matching suit, Cruise opting for a charcoal ensemble.

A video clip posted by the official Formula 1 Instagram account captured the magical moment Cruise surprised Pitt on the red carpet, captioned:
“The moment Tom Cruise surprised us on the #F1TheMovie red carpet!”

They were later joined by F1 director Joseph Kosinski, producer Jerry Bruckheimer, and Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali. The caption for another group photo read:
“A special moment on the red carpet!”
A nod to their past and present collaborations, F1 captioned their post:
“Sonny Hayes 🤝 Maverick. The stars of Top Gun: Maverick and #F1TheMovie, both directed by Joseph Kosinski.”

Cruise also posted photos from the event to X (formerly Twitter), writing:
“Great night at the movies with my friends!! You guys crushed it!!”

Fans Relive Iconic Interview with the Vampire Moments

Fans couldn’t hold back their nostalgia as images of the pair went viral. The reunion sparked memories of their only film together, 1994’s Interview with the Vampire.
One fan wrote, “It’s Lestat and Louis,” while another added, “Tom Cruise deserved a role in this movie too.” Social media buzzed with praise, calling them “Hollywood icons” and “legends in one frame.”

About the Film: F1

Directed by Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick), F1 is set for theatrical release on June 25. The film follows Brad Pitt as a veteran racer named Sonny Hayes, who returns to Formula One to help a struggling team and mentor its rookie driver, played by Damson Idris. Remarkably, both actors performed their own high-speed driving scenes during real F1 Grand Prix weekends, lending a thrilling authenticity to the movie.

As red carpet reunions go, this one might just be a podium finish.
