Travelling by coach is not usually considered to be the most glamorous means of transport – often associated with rainy holidays in the UK.

But on Tuesday George Clooney and Sandra Bullock turned the humble coach trip into something of style as they headed to Venice together alongside Sandra’s son Louis.

Carrying her young son the 49-year-old was joined by her old friend and co-star George as they made their way onto to the coach leaving Lake Como for the Venice Film Festival.

Looking laid-back the actress wore a pair of black and white shorts with a white broderie anglaise top.

Her long dark locks were tied off her face in casual bun while she covered her eyes with sunglasses.

As she made her way onto the coach she cradled her sleepy looking son, who she adopted back in 2010.

George, 52, meanwhile looked his usual handsome self-wearing a leather jacket over his white T-shirt.

The top was emblazoned with the words ‘casamigos tequila’ which is the name of the tequila he is producing alongside Cindy Crawford’s husband Rande Gerber, who also accompanied them on the trip.

The silver fox looked in high spirits as they made their way to the coach, clearly excited about his film Gravity opening the film festival.

The gang had no doubt being spending time at George’s villa in Lake Como, where he is known to spend much of his downtime.

Gravity features Sandra as medical engineer Dr. Ryan Stone who is on her first Space Shuttle mission accompanied by veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (George) who is commanding his final expedition. 

During a spacewalk, debris from a satellite crashes into the space shuttle Explorer, leaving it mostly destroyed, and stranding them in space with limited air. Without means of communication with Earth, they must cooperate to survive.

It is the first film from Alfonso Cuarón since the critically acclaimed Children Of Men in 2006 and he co-wrote it alongside his son Jonás.

Speaking about shooting the film alongside her old pal George, who is known for his pranks, Sandra revealed: "This film was so hard that pranks had no place. There was never down time.

‘How are you going to prank someone who's hanging from a scaffold with 12 wires, rigged up all day? So we had a truce at the very get-go because that just wasn't the place to prank.’

Gravity will be released on October 4 in the US, and November 8 in the UK.
