Timothée Chalamet and Austin Butler got a fit of the giggles on Monday night as they attended a screening of their film, Dune: Part Two, in Paris.
The two actors shared a sweet moment on the red carpet, as they joked around together while posing for the cameras.
Timothée, 28, cut a dapper figure in a black suit with a red and gold sequinned turtleneck underneath for an added touch of flair.
While Austin, 32, looked typically handsome in a white collared shirt under an asymmetrical black jacket and coordinating wide legged trousers.
The two men posed with their arms around each other, and continued to crack jokes and break into giggles.

At one point Timothée fell into Austin as he collapsed with laughter, as his smirking co-star steadied him.
Timothée led the cast of the first Dune film as messianic figure Paul Atreides, and returns to the role in Dune: Part Two.
While Austin joined the upcoming science-fiction epic for the sequel, to play Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, a trained assassin who is Paul’s rival to taking control of Arrakis.
Despite their onscreen rivalry, the pair of Oscar-nominated actors formed a close bond during filming, with both gushing over each other’s talents.
Speaking to Access Hollywood last week, Timothée gushed: ‘You meet someone by destiny, by the destiny of the script that you know you will have to work with intimately. You go, “Okay, so he’s not only a great talent, but a great guy, which is hard to find”.’
He added that Austin’s character is his favourite in the film, saying: ‘I mean, it’s easy to now, but it’s exactly what that role needed, and demands in some way.’
In return, Austin said: ‘I respect [Timothée] so much. He knocked it out of the park. It’s so cool to see the transition from that first film and to see the maturity and the gravitas come out, and you get to just knock the roof off of it. It’s incredible.’
Timothée also revealed that Austin had helped him get into character as Bob Dylan for the upcoming biopic, A Complete Unknown.

Austin was nominated for an Oscar and won a Golden Globe for his performance playing fellow legend Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann’s 2022 film, right before filming for Dune.
Timothée admitted that he has been ‘picking his brain nonstop’ on getting advice for playing a real life musical icon.
Austin confessed: ‘I loved those conversations. ‘I loved it. We had so much fun.’
While Timothée echoed: ‘Honestly, I love it, too. It’s rare, I mean, I got so lucky. He just delivered this incredible performance, and then I got to work with him right after and pick his brain nonstop. I mean, he has the chemistry tools in front of him, and can I tinker with them?’
The new Dune sequel takes place immediately after the first film ended, when Paul and his mother joined forces with Chani and the rest of the desert-dwelling Fremen to get revenge against the evil House Harkonnen, whose members have killed most of his family and friends.
The film was originally scheduled for a late October 2023 release, before being pushed back to November and finally shuffled all the way back to March of this year following the dual writers and actors strikes.
