They share the screen in upcoming Western movie Forsaken.

And father-and-son duo Donald and Kiefer Sutherland looked only too happy to share the red carpet as they stepped out to the premiere at Toronto International Film Festival on Wednesday evening.

Donald, 80, and Kiefer, 48, put on a heart-warming display as they greeted a sizable crowd of fans and global press at Roy Thomson Hall.

Donald - whose acting career spans an impressive 50 years - was suitably smart in a navy suit which he wore with a crisp white shirt and an orange tie.

He added a pair of shiny black leather shoes and stood with his hands in his trouser pockets.

However, a dapper display was absent from Kiefer who looked a little scruffy in comparison.

First for everything: The Western is the first time Donald, 80, and Kiefer, 48, co-star in leading roles together and they looked only too happy to share the red carpet at Roy Thomson Hall

The Jack Bauer actor took a casual approach to the dress code, sporting black trousers, a matching suit jacket, which he wore unbuttoned, and a hooded jacket.

However, what stole the spotlight was Kiefer's failure to scrub his shoes in time for the event.

With all eyes on the film's leading stars, he didn't seem to care that his footwear was splattered with mud patches.
