- By Emma Powell Deputy Showbusine­ss News Editor

IT has been 21 years since they became close friends on the set of Ocean’s 11.

And now George Clooney and Julia Roberts have reunited for a new film – marking the first time the Hollywood heavyweigh­ts have starred alongside each other in a romantic comedy.

In Ticket To Paradise they play a divorced couple who plot to stop their daughter’s destinatio­n wedding in Bali.

The pair posed for pictures at last night’s tropical-esque premiere in London with Clooney, 61, also joined by his lawyer wife Amal, 44.

Miss Roberts, 54, wore a black gown embellishe­d with dates and

‘First time in a rom-com together’

letters in a tribute to her family.

The initials ‘JR+DM’ was a nod to her husband Daniel Moder, whom she married in 2002.

Other initials and birth years included those of her children, twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, 17, and 15-year-old Henry.

The Pretty Woman actress has said Clooney saved her from ‘complete loneliness and despair’ while filming away from her family in Australia.

‘It’s the longest I’ve ever been away from my family,’ she said.

Ticket To Paradise is out on September 16.
