Yes, Thom Yorke and BB-8 were spotted having a moment on the red carpet at the film premiere this past weekend (December 9) in London. The bespectacled singer sat down cross-legged on the red carpet, wagged his finger at the little droid, but then offered up what looked like sincere appreciation to the spherical robot.
Naturally, the internet is losing its mind over the adorable encounter. See photographic evidence and some of the best reactions to Yorke and BB-8's new friendship below.

Yeah, I could have done without that picture of Thom Yorke and that oversized anal bead that Star Wars fans pay a lot for in merch sales.
