They say variety is the spice of life.
So it's no wonder Tom Cruise looked like the cat that got the cream as he posed at the world premiere of his new film Knight And Day in Seville, Spain, with both his blonde co-star Cameron Diaz and brunette wife Katie Holmes last night.
Both stars looked stunning in their outfits - with Diaz opting for a ruched black one-shouldered dress, and Holmes going for the innocent look in a white dress with tiered skirt and gladiator heels
Back to black: Cameron and Tom both opted for black outfits as they posed on the red carpet at the premiereCruise, who was dressed more casually in dark jeans, a white shirt and a blazer, grinned broadly as he posed first with Katie and then inside with Diaz.
Knight And Day sees the second collaboration between Hollywood stars Cruise and Diaz, and tells of a fugitive spy who takes an unsuspecting woman around the world on an action-packed adventure with him as he attempts to protect an endless energy source.
The movie, directed by James Mangold, is the latest in a string of comedic roles for Cruise, who previously made his name in dramas and more romantic films such as Rain Man and Days Of Thunder.
'Great friend': Tom and Cameron smile broadly as they pose for photographers in Seville
Happy couple: Tom gives wife Katie an affectionate kiss on the cheek. The couple's daughter Suri is also with them in SpainSpeaking about the film, Cruise, 47, said: 'It's a real kind of wish fulfillment film. It's got a very unique tone. It was something I was really looking to do next.
'The most important thing to me is entertaining the audience, and it always has been. I’ve worked since I was 8 years old and I saved money to go to the movies, so to have that opportunity… I just consider myself a student of film, of storytelling.
The film itself is the most important.'
Describing Diaz as 'a great friend', Cruise added: 'I haven't worked with her since Vanilla Sky, she's just wonderful to work with, an incredible comedian.'
Stunning: Cameron wowed fans in a ruched black minidress and heels with gold chains
The pair also did the majority of their own stunts on the film, and said that while the prospect of having to do death-defying leaps or car chases was sometimes hard to deal with, they also messed around and punched each other between takes.
Cruise told Entertainment Tonight: ''We would come up on the set and we'd be like, "What's Up? What's Up?" and punch each other on the arm.'
Diaz added: 'Yeah, punching and kicking. I'd kind of like be playing around, and every once in a while after a long stretch of stunts, Tom would be like, "No, no - not today." '
Adoring fans: Cameron chatted for fans, posed for photographers and signed autographs before the premiere
Chic: She had teased her hair back into a trendy side bun, which worked well with her asymetric dressEarlier in the day, Diaz and Cruise decided to prove exactly how they did their own stunts by performing a high-speed car and bike chase around a blocked-off area in Seville, Spain, for U.S. TV's Good Morning America.
After leaving a reporter stunned by her incredibly fast driving, Diaz said: 'He does everything you see in the movie.
Fan man: Tom is known for his dedication to his fans and the amount of time he spends at premieres meeting the general public
Smart: The 47-year-old actor looked dapper in a white shirt, blazer and dark jeans'It's him jumping from one building to the next - he's not wearing a wire - it's him running across rooftops. It's completely off the hook and I had to step up to that. And adrenaline's good!'
While some criticised the decision to hold the world premiere of the film in Seville instead of America, the majority of the crime comedy film was shot in the Spanish city, so producers deemed it a natural choice for the opening night of the promotional tour.
Knight And Day opens in the UK on the 2nd July. [endtext]
