Their gift was Elton John's song at the Cannes Film Festival premiere of Rocketman.
The gay singer and the actor who portrays him in the upcoming biopic, Taron Egerton, sang a duet of "Rocket Man" at the gala screening. They hugged after the song.
The pair were reportedly both in tears after the screening, which received a standing ovation and, afterward, rave reviews from critics. The film also made headlines this week by being the first production from a major studio to feature gay sex scenes.
Rocketman officially premieres May 31, although a special early access screening is available Saturday in select theaters if tickets are purchased through Fandango.
Watch John and Egerton make beautiful music together below.
