Dec. 5 (UPI) -- Julia Roberts and Ethan Hawke dazzled on the red carpet Monday.

The 56-year-old actress and 53-year-old actor attended the New York premiere of their film Leave the World Behind at the Paris Theater.

Roberts and Hawke wore coordinating outfits, with Roberts in a black high-neck minidress and long white coat and Hawke in a black suit and white shirt with a ribbon tie.

The pair laughed about their friendship in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, with Hawke jokingly saying it was "so hard to get along" with Roberts on set.

"We're still working on it," Roberts added. "We had someone come and go over some talking points on how to sound like we like each other."
