Brad Pitt and George Clooney hugged and danced Sunday night at the Venice Film Festival as the two megastars' latest film, "Wolfs," received a four-minute standing ovation.

The premiere itself was delayed by over 30 minutes as fans crowded into Venice’s Sala Grande to catch a glimpse of Pitt and Clooney. When the duo finally entered, the sound—and general atmosphere—in the theater could only be described as carnal. Both actors walked to opposite ends of the carpet, signing autographs and taking selfies before being ushered to their seats by security.

As the two stars entered the cinema, they greeted the enthusiastic audience with a roaring "Buonasera!", prompting some fans to shout back in the hope of being noticed. Even as the film began, the chaos continued, with those without tickets scrambling to find empty seats. Some were turned away during the film as latecomers entered.

As the crime film's closing credits rolled, Pitt and Clooney embraced warmly before breaking out into Sade's "Smooth Operator." Clooney then turned to his wife Amal and the two shared a sweet kiss before he stepped back into the spotlight.
