Jerry Seinfeld Reunites With Michael Richards for Rare Photo on the Red Carpet

Jerry Seinfeld

While celebrating the release of his new movie Unfrosted, Jerry Seinfeld had another reason to celebrate as his Seinfeld co-star Michael Richards came to support him in a rare red carpet appearance.

The move from Richards, who played Cosmo Kramer in the hit sitcom, comes eight years since his last red carpet appearance—and 26 years since Seinfeld aired its final episode.

In photos from the Unfrosted red carpet, the two men posed together with bright smiles on their faces, waving to the crowd and sharing a few laughs. While Seinfeld went for a classic look with a gray suit, black shirt and blue tie underneath, Richards looked suave in a double-breasted suit with a white paisley shirt and clear glasses.

Seinfeld's new movie Unfrosted, which he acted in and produced, is also his movie directorial debut. Also starring Melissa McCarthy, Amy Schumer, Jim Gaffigan and more, the movie is loosely based on how Pop-Tarts came to be. It hits Netflix on May 3.

Richards also has an exciting upcoming project, as his memoir called Entrances and Exits comes out on June 4 and includes a foreword from his former co-star. Before this, the actor mostly stayed out of the spotlight since 2006 when he was filmed shouting racist epithets at the crowd in the Laugh Factory comedy club in Los Angeles.

Back in November, Richards shared a preview of his book's introduction with People: "My book is a hymn to the irrational, the senseless spirit that breaks the whole into pieces, a reflection on the seemingly absurd difficulties that intrude upon us all."

The memoir will reportedly explore Richards' whole life, from his time growing up raised by his grandmother who had schizophrenia to his role in Seinfeld and beyond. The book will explore the behind-the-scenes process of making the beloved show that aired for nine seasons in the 1990s.
