The former co-stars of the 1989 comedy reunited on the red carpet of the Museum of Contemporary Art Gala in Los Angeles.

It's been 34 years since the cult comedy film came out, featuring time travel and teenage antics.

A third movie in the comedy series came out in 2020, to the delight of fans who waited decades for another instalment.

Meanwhile, Keanu and his award-winning artist beau Alexandra Grant embraced in a cheeky kiss on the carpet at the event.

The usually private star - not known for public displays of affection - shared a kiss with Alexandra in front of photographers.

They headed into the fundraising event, a night of DJs and dancing, holding hands.

Alexandra was wearing a red patterned dress while Keanu arrived in a black suit and striped tie with brown shoes.

The pair went public with their relationship in 2019, when they appeared at another arts gala in LA.

They are thought to have begun dating earlier that year, though they had been friends for years before the relationship turned romantic.

Hollywood star Keanu met Alexandra in 2011 when they collaborated on his book Ode To Happiness.

They teamed up again for his 2016 book Shadows, and again in 2018 - with Alexandra providing the illustrations.

Long regarded one of the most attractive men in movies, Keanu has previously been linked to Amanda De Cadenet, Sandra Bullock and Claire Forlani.

He rose to fame as Theodore 'Ted' Logan in the Bill and Ted Films, before cementing his superstar status as Neo in the Matrix series.

Los Angeles-based Alexandra is an artist who examines language and writing using painting, drawing, sculpture and video.
