Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt's reunion was all kinds of awkward and amazing
A host of celebs reunited for a live table read of Fast Times at Ridgemont High to raise money for charity.
Brad Pitt was playing Brad Hamilton, while Jennifer Aniston took on the role of Linda Barrett.
When it comes to celebrity events taking place via Zoom, the Fast Times at Ridgemont High live table read just won all the awards. The likes of Julia Roberts, Morgan Freeman, Matthew McConaughey, Shia LaBeouf, Jimmy Kimmel, John Legend, Ray Liotta and Sean Penn all took part in last night's charity event.
But of course all eyes were really on exes Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt, who were playing characters Linda Barrett and Brad Hamilton and had to read the script from some of the cult teen comedy's most awkward scenes.
However, they're not the world's most successful actors for nothing and when it got to the part where Linda appears in Brad's fantasy, Jen naturally nailed the perfect delivery. "Hi, Brad," she said. "You know how cute I always thought you were. I think you're so sexy. Will you come to me?"
And we honestly don't know what was better, Brad's reaction or the rest of the celebs trying not to laugh throughout the whole monologue. As to be expected, Twitter couldn't cope:

The last time Brad, 56, and Jen, 51, were seen on screen together was in 2001, a year into their marriage, when Brad made a guest appearance as Will Colbert on Friends alongside Jen's Rachel Green. Earlier this year, fans also saw them reunite at the SAG awards when they bumped into each other backstage after they both won awards.
Thursday's table read will be helping to raise money for CORE, a charitable organisation providing emergency relief amid the coronavirus pandemic, as well as Reform Alliance, which is focused on criminal justice reform.
Zoom gold.
