Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi and the Hollywood actor Richard Gere have treated reporters to an impromptu ballroom dance performance.
Mr Koizumi took Gere's hand in front of a roomful of journalists and asked "Shall We Dance?"- the title of Gere's latest movie.
Gere obliged, but insisted on taking the lead, as the two twirled around the room for a few seconds.
Afterwards Gere described Mr Koizumi as "charming and spontaneous".
Mr Koizumi returned the compliment, saying Gere, who is in Japan to promote Shall We Dance, was a great movie star and a wonderful person.
The twirl follows Gere's endorsement on Monday of Mr Koizumi's views regarding an arms ban on China.
Gere said he approved of Mr Koizumi's opposition to a plan by the European Union to lift the ban, which was put in place following the Tiananmen Square crackdown.
Someone please try to find a video of this.
