Not you two again! Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz at the Japanese premiere of Knight and DayIt was the movie that was heavily promoted over the summer but wasn't meant to be when it came to box office success.
It didn't stop Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz making a whirlwind tour round the world to proudly promote their film, Knight And Day.
But almost two months on, just when we thought that we'd seen the last of the dynamic duo, they pop up yet again, this time to flog the action flick to the Japanese.
Tom, 47, and Cameron, 38, were snapped today at the Tokyo premiere of their film, which was released in the U.S. and the UK at the beginning of August and has already dropped out of cinemas across both countries.
But if the Western world is sick of the sight of them by now, their reception in the Land of the Rising Sun was a different story.
They were given a rapturous welcome as they arrived at the Roppongi Hills Arena today.
Now it's your turn: Tom and Cameron greet the Japanese, who will be able to see Knight and Day from October 9They've spent most of the summer attending premieres of the film in the U.S., Spain, Brazil, Germany, England, France, and Austria.
They even made an appearance on BBC2 show Top Gear to take part in the Star In A Reasonably Priced Car segment of the show.
But almost two months on, their smiles were still strong as they posed together on the red carpet.
Eastern beauty: Cameron looked stunning at the premiere in a figure-hugging black dress and trendy multi-coloured strappy heelsWhile Tom looked very casual in jeans, a jumper and a shirt, Cameron looked her usual glamorous self in a tight black dress by Bottega Veneta that showed off her enviable slender figure.
She accessorised with a wide black belt and very funky, black, orange and pink strappy heels by Jimmy Choo.
Speaking to the crowd, Tom said: 'I'm very glad to be here, this place is very special to me.'
Hello, Tokyo! Tom helps Cameron down the stairs at the premiere as the sign from the film - in English and Japanese, towers over themYesterday he stopped and chatted to fans at Tokyo International Airport and still managed to look fresh-faced despite the early hour.
And even though it was 7.30 in the morning, he was greeted by dozens of fans, some of which spent the night in nearby hotels the night before to catch a glimpse of the Hollywood star.
They will both be hoping for a better reception in Japan to the film than the one received in the U.S. and the UK.
Many described it as 'far-fetched' and 'unmotivated and senseless', while the Daily Mail's Chris Tookey said, 'even to try to make sense of the storyline is to risk incurable brain damage', and that 'lightweight entertainment doesn’t have to be this atrocious'.
