"You're joking, don't tell me that now," the visibly shocked Dickinson told Deadline from the red carpet after gathering basic details from the reporter. Dickinson acted as if he was leading fellow actors off the red carpet, saying, "Let's get out of here and get back to work."
"Let's go!" Efron added emphatically.
On another corner of the premiere red carpet, "Iron Claw" star Jeremy Allen White learned about the historic settlement from Entertainment Tonight on camera.

"Defending Your Life" star Albert Brooks managed to celebrate while promoting his upcoming documentary, a movie publicity action not allowed during the strike.
"The SAG strike is over!! I can finally say it: watch my documentary Saturday night at 8 on HBO/MAX!" Brooks wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. "Couldn't say a word until now!!"
