We thought we were excited for Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, but then we saw Brad Pitt jumping for joy.

During a routine photo call ahead of the film’s July 26 debut, the 55-year-old actor, who plays Cliff Booth in the movie, was inspired to photobomb his co-star Margot Robbie in a major way. But he didn’t sneak behind her and make bunny ears or lean into the frame stealthily. Actually, there was no subtly to Pitt’s photobomb approach.

It all started with Robbie, the 29-year-old Oscar winner who plays Sharon Tate in the film, when she posed for press photos in a chic white Derek Lam wide-leg jumpsuit (here’s a similar jumpsuit from Halston Heritage for $445).

See, there she is above just working the camera and minding her own business. When suddenly, from across the room, Pitt and his now signature flat-brim cap and scruffy gray beard launched himself directly in front of Robbie.

In fact, he jumped with such vigor it appeared both of his feet were off the ground. It’s also worth noting that his ballet hands are pretty en pointe.

As if one photobomb wasn’t enough, Pitt went back from whence he came and performed a so-so jeté in front of Robbie…again.

Notice his lower-back tattoo and Robbie’s expression in the background. Classic, right?
