The Venice Film Festival saw a heartwarming reunion as “Bull Durham” co-stars Kevin Costner and Susan Sarandon graced the red carpet together. The duo, who played the iconic baseball manager and fiery, baseball-loving Annie Savoy in the 1988 classic, radiated warmth and camaraderie as they reminisced about their shared cinematic history.

Costner, who was in Venice for the premiere of his western epic “The Horse Whisperer,” was all smiles as he greeted Sarandon, who was attending the festival for a separate event. The pair, who remain close friends after their time filming “Bull Durham,” took photos together and shared laughter with fans and the press.

“It’s always a joy to see Susan,” Costner remarked. “We haven’t seen each other in a while, but it feels like no time has passed at all. There’s nothing like catching up with an old friend, especially one you shared such a special experience with.”

Sarandon echoed those sentiments, adding, “Kevin and I have a bond that goes beyond the film. We have a mutual respect and admiration for each other, and it’s always wonderful to reconnect.”

Their reunion was a reminder of the enduring power of “Bull Durham,” which remains a beloved film for its humor, charm, and heartwarming portrayal of baseball and love. The pair’s chemistry, both on and off screen, was a testament to their talent and the enduring magic of their classic film.
