Jennifer Anniston and Brad Pitt reunited for ‘Fast Times at Ridgemont High’
The reunion has finally happened
If you had this former married couple reuniting on your 2020 Bingo card, then its time to claim your prize.
Jennifer Anniston and Brad Pitt reunited on-screen for a table read of the coming-of-age cult classic ‘Fast Times at Ridgemont High’. The 1982 movie, which the pair didn’t originally feature in, had a table read organised for Sean Penn’s nonprofit charity CORE, Community Organized Relief Effort.
Playing the characters of Linda Barrett and Brad Hamilton, who were originally played by Phoebe Cates and Judge Reinhold nearly 40 years previously, Jen and Brad even managed to share a rather steamy fantasy moment during the hour-long table read, which managed to get a few laughs from their on-screen cast.
Included in the new cast and unrehearsed ‘Fast Times at Ridgemont High’ table read were Jimmy Kimmel, Ray Liotta, Julia Roberts, Matthew McConaughey, Henry Golding, plus Shia LaBeouf who looked like he was after coming back from the gym – but he was just staying in character, playing the role of Sean Penn’s Jeff Spicoli.
Dane Cook hosted the table read, while Morgan Freeman narrated. John Legend also joined in, saying to everyone at the beginning of the Facebook Live event: “Break a leg everybody. Your career is riding on this.”
The last time we saw Jennifer Anniston and Brad Pitt together was at the Screen Actors Guild Awards earlier this year, when the pair appeared to rekindle their friendship (and sent the internet into meltdown).
Here’s the full table read for you below, which begins with a rather hilarious interruption from John Legend’s wife, Chrissy Teigan.
