The ex-married couple Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston have teamed up for a good cause. And it was hot.
Brad Pitt (56, "Ad Astra") and Jennifer Aniston (51, "Cake") met on Thursday evening via Zoom. The ex-couple took part in a virtual charity reading of the hit comedy "I think I'm standing in the woods" ("Fast Times at Ridgemont High"). Pitt played Brad Hamilton, the role that Judge Reinhold (63) had taken on in the 1982 teen comedy, Aniston read the character Linda – the girl Brad desires – originally played by Phoebe Cates (57).
According to US media reports, one scene in particular caused laughter. In it, Linda and Brad Hamilton are flirting in one of Brad's fantasies. Aniston alias Linda said among other things: "Hi Brad, you know how cute I always thought you were. You are so sexy. Are you coming to me?" On Twitter, the fans were happy about the reunion of the two Hollywood stars: "I LOVE to see Brad and Jen together on one screen," wrote one user. Elsewhere it says: "Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston save 2020 for me!"
The event, held for the CORE charity, had even more celebs, including Shia LaBeouf, Julia Roberts, Matthew McConaughey, Jimmy Kimmel, John Legend, Henry Golding, Dane Cook and the star of the original film, Sean Penn . LaBeouf played the main character of Jeff Spicoli – the role Penn had played in the film – with a cigarette and topless sitting in a car: another highlight for the audience.
