Leo Woodall and Dustin Hoffman got on like a house on fire as they met on the red carpet of their new film Tuner on Monday night.
The new thriller had its premiere at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival at Princess of Wales Theatre.
Leo, 28, and Dustin, 88, play the lead roles, with Leo’s character Niki a keen piano player that finds himself caught up in a gang of thieves.
Dustin plays Niki’s mentor in the film, which is set for a UK release date in 2026.
Pictures from the premiere in Toronto show both men appear like lifelong friends as they caught up in front of the cameras.
Boasting big laughs, the pair were engrossed in conversation and at some points seemed to forget the cameras were on them.

Leo sported a check wool blend bomber jacket over a shirt and navy tie, completing his look with suit trousers.
Dustin also looked dapper, wearing a white shirt under a navy suit jacket, pairing the look with a black pair of chinos.
Their animated display on the red carpet comes after Leo revealed how he had a crippling fear about working with Dustin.
He explained to Variety: ‘To be honest, I had crippling fear at the beginning, because you don’t want to be shit for someone like Dustin Hoffman.
‘And you’re so much more insecure and self-conscious. You can overthink shit. And so the first couple of days, I threw myself into it, and we improvised a lot on the first day, too.
‘But it took a few shooting days for me to kind of feel comfortable and confident and excited to really go at it with him for these 15-20 minute improvs.
‘If you told me before we started shooting that I would be doing 20-minute improvs with Dustin Hoffman, I probably would have quit the movie. I would have been too scared, but it was the most fun I’ve ever had acting.’
Dustin’s appearance at the premiere is a rare outing for the star these days.

The actor’s storied career has spanned over six decades as he has nearly 100 credits to his name.
The Los Angeles native has even reached the height of the industry multiple times as they have won two Oscars in 1980 and 1989.
Dustin is married to his wife Lisa Hoffman who is 17 years his junior.
They are parents of Jacob, 43, Rebecca, 41, Maxwell, 39, and Ali, 37, married in 1980 after knowing each other through their families for years
Dustin is also dad to Karina 58, and Jenna, 54, from his first marriage to Anne Byrne which ended in 1980 after 11 years. Dustin and Lisa wed later that same year.
In an interview with Closer, Lisa talked about her marriage, saying: ‘I say in Hollywood it is like dog years, so you have to multiply that by seven.’
She added that more than four decades after tying the knot, she and the Rainman actor are ‘more in love’ than ever before and their affection for each other ‘continues to grow.’
