Every now and then we hear stories of how cast members didn’t get on during filming of their Hollywood blockbusters. But it seems Reese Witherspoon and Oprah Winfrey really did have a whale of a time.

The two women reunited on the red carpet for the London premiere of their movie A Wrinkle In Time, where they gave each other a huge hug on sight.

They were joined on the red carpet by Mindi Kaling, Storm Reid, the film’s 14-year-old star and a whole host of famous Brit faces.

Reese brought her daughter along for the ride, who got a little mistaken for her mum when she first appeared on the red carpet.

The film tells the story of Storm’s character Reid, who wants to find her father, played by Chris Pine after he disappeared while finding a new planet.

She is accompanied by three astral travellers, Mrs Whatsit (Reese Witherspoon), Mrs. Who (Mindy Kaling) and Mrs Which (Oprah Winfrey).

Loose Women panelist Nadia Sawalha walked the red carpet behind the film’s stars, as did radio DJ Vick Hope and singer Fleur East.

The movie is an adaptation of a kids book, and Reese told ET that her children were big fans of it growing up.

‘They know everything, and I can’t wait to hear what they think,’ she said. ‘The first thing my son said when I got cast, he goes, “Aren’t these supposed to be a bunch of old ladies?” And I said,”No, this is a re-imagining” …He said, “Doesn’t make any sense.”‘

She added: ‘But that’s the great thing about this book – it is a classic, but it’s very updated for our time, so it’s exciting to see what [director] Ava DuVernay did with it.’
