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.
