Good sport: Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise join current Tour de France leader Alberto Contador as he celebrates winning the 18th stage of the cycling race


Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz have taken the promotion of their new film Knight and Day to another level - the winner's podium at the Tour de France.

The motive for the unusual decision to hold a premiere for the blockbuster movie in Bordeaux, France, became clear as it coincided with the latest leg of the world's most famous cycling race.

The A-listers were quick to capitalise on the photo opportunity, taking to the podium alongside stage winner Alberto Contador.

The Spaniard is holding the leader's yellow jersey after the 18th stage of the race between Salies-De-Bearn and Bordeaux.

He appeared not to mind that his thunder had been stolen by the Hollywood stars, grinning broadly as the pair congratulated him.

Cruise, ever the showman, thrust Contador's arm into the air as he held the iconic toy lion, awarded to the winner of each stage.

The cyclist, who is tipped to go on and win the event, later handed his two newest fans signed yellow jerseys, and appeared humbled to meet the stars.

'Of course I've seen a lot of your films, but it's a little bit strange seeing you up close,' he told Cruise, who wore his trademark look of Ray Ban glasses, a crisp white dress shirt and jeans for the event.

His co-star, 37, also opted for the casual look in jeans and a cropped beige jacket.

The pair have endured a hectic promotional schedule for the film, including an appearance on Top Gear this week.

Fortunately the duo, who first worked together on Vanilla Sky, share a great friendship and appear to have enjoyed every minute.
