Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt acting together again onscreen? In 2020?
Yes, it's true. The exes reunited for a live virtual reading of the classic 1982 film Fast Times at Ridgemont High as part of Dane Cook Presents Feelin' A-Live. The event raised money for CORE (Community Organized Relief Effort) and Reform Alliance in the fight against COVID-19. Other celebrities who joined included Sean Penn (who starred as Jeff Spicoli in the original film but this time played a delivery driver), Julia Roberts (Stacy Hamilton), Morgan Freeman (who read the stage directions/acted as narrator), Cook (Mark "Rat" Ratner), Ray Liotta (Mr. Hand), John Legend (Charles Jefferson), Henry Golding (Mr. Vargas), Shia LaBeouf (Spicoli), Matthew McConaughey (Mike Damone), and Jimmy Kimmel (everyone else).
But the true stars were Aniston as Linda Barrett and Pitt as Brad Hamilton—and there's one scene in particular that has everyone talking. In it, the Brad character is having a fantasy about Linda, which led to some sexy lines between the exes. Aniston literally says the words, “Hey, Brad, you know how cute I always thought you were. I think you're so sexy. Will you come to me?”
The whole exchange elicits laughs from the rest of the A-list cast too. Watch the moment for yourself, below.

Fans, understandably, started freaking out on social media—because Aniston and Pitt are one couple we can't seem to let go as a culture. “Stars have never been more ‘like Us’ than watching Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston interact,” one person tweeted, and we see no lies there.
Aniston and Pitt, of course, very publicly split back in 2005. He is now reportedly dating model Nicole Poturalski after getting divorced from Angelina Jolie.
While we fully understand these two are not getting back together, we're going to enjoy this nice 2020 moment while we can. We deserve it!
