Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson reunited at the British Summer Time festival where they performed a duet of The Love Inside for the first time ever.

Yes, the duo who starred in the iconic movie A Star Is Born, decided to take a leaf out of Lady Gaga and Bradly Coopers book, by bringing their classic hit to the stage.

Their surprise appearance was welcomed by cheers, as the pair belted out the tune more than 40 years after it was first released.

Making an entrance, Barbra shouted to her co-star: Can we sing like that again? before they burst into song at Hyde Park, in London.

She later went onto celebrate Pride, adding: On the way here, the driver asked me if Id gone to any of the Pride celebrations.

And I said why would I? I knew theyd be here tonight!

Barbra, 77, beamed: I believe everyone has the right to love everyone whoever they choose.

The A-listers played Esther Hoffman Howard and John Norman Howard in the 1976 movie, which has since been remade with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper at the helm.

And while they remained true to the plot, the actors filled the film with original hits, including the track Shallow, which has gone on to receive a number of awards.

Talking to Entertainment Tonight, Liza said of the late actress: She would have laughed. And then she would have gotten into it.

I can hear her saying, “OK, lets go!” she continued: Great to the end!
