The two Hollywood leading men, who haven't reunited publicly since 2001, met on Monday evening on the red carpet at the London premiere of Pitt's new motorsport blockbuster.

The former Interview with the Vampire co-stars exchanged a friendly hug as they posed for photos on the red carpet.

Rumours abounded during the filming of the 1994 horror movie that the pair had clashed during its making.

But there were no signs of tension tonight as Cruise, 62, wrapped his arms around his old friend as the pair posed for photos at the premiere in London's Leicester Square.

Cruise wore a slate-coloured suit and dark sunglasses while Pitt looked suave in a green suit with a matching scarf and a pair of brown tinted glasses.

Pitt, 61, was joined on the red carpet by his partner Ines de Ramon, 32, who stunned in a crystal-covered floor length dress.

Pictures from the premiere show Ines adjusting her boyfriend's scarf as the couple posed for photos, looking loved-up.

Asked recently about the prospect of reuniting with his former co-star, Brad Pitt told E! News he'll star in a movie with Cruise - who's known for performing his own stunts - "when he does something again that’s on the ground."

F1: The Movie was made in collaboration with Formula One’s governing body, the FIA, and one of the producers is seven-times world champion Lewis Hamilton.

Stars including Ed Sheeran, Naomi Campbell, and Lewis Hamilton turned out for the premiere.

Pitt plays the lead role as troubled race car driver Sonny Hayes making a return to motorsport after three decades in the new release.

The film is out in UK cinemas on June 25.
