While John and Kirstie have remained firm friends since sharing the screen together, this marked a rare joint public outing for the pair, who have changed a lot in the last thirty years.
Celebrity Big Brother star Kirstie, 68 clearly wanted to support her pal, 65, whose new flick sees him play an autistic man who becomes obsessed with his favourite big screen action hero.
The psychological thriller is written and directed by former Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst - who famously enjoyed a fling with Britney Spears at the height of his band's fame - who joined Kirstie and John at the premiere.

Kirstie wore a long black dress for the event, teamed with an eye-catching gold brooch and leopard print heels.
John, who recently embraced the bald look, wore a maroon jacket over a black t-shirt and trousers.
John and Kirstie enjoyed a box office bonanza in the late eighties and early nineties with the Look Who's Talking movies.
The original film saw Kirstie playing New York accountant Mollie, who has a talking baby son Mikey (voiced by Bruce Willis) from a fling with a married man.
She winds up falling for Travolta's easy-going cab driver James, who becomes a babysitter for the kid before romance blossoms.

The film was such a success, it spawned two sequels, 1990's Look Who's Talking Too and 1992's Look Who's Talking Now.
Last year, Kirstie revealed that she and John fell in love while making the films but never acted on it.
Kirstie was married to actor Parker Stevenson at the time but told The Sun's Dan Wootton on his podcast that not sleeping with John was "the hardest decision I've ever made."
John went on to marry actress Kelly Preston, who he is still with today.
