What’s up guys, it’s Sussan Mourad with Clevver News, and Bennifer fans GET EXCITED,
because Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston are reuniting for a good cause, so listen up because
we’ve got all the details!
Any interaction between the famous exes is a win for fans who have been waiting for Brad
Pitt and Jennifer Aniston to reunite and realize life wasn’t so bad together after all.
Ok, so in a perfect world, that would be the case, but we’re far from it, so we’ll
take any reunion we can get, which just so happens to be a virtual table read which is
part of Dane Cook’s upcoming Feelin’ A-Live event.
During the virtual event, many A-listers, including Jen, Brad, Jimmy Kimmel, Morgan
Freeman, Henry Golding, Shia LaBeouf, Matthew McConaughey, Julia Roberts and Sean Penn,
are set to join in on a virtual table read for the 1982 film Fast Times at Ridgemont
High.
So for those of you who’ve never seen Fast Times, it’s an oldie but goodie, and I promise
it’s worth the watch.
To give you a little background info, Sean Penn plays main character and stoner Jeff
Spicoli, alongside a group of high school students living in Southern California, who
get into wild antics, and make comical discoveries along the way of finding themselves.
The event is also set to be for a good cause, as it serves as a fundraiser for the emergency
relief nonprofit CORE, a humanitarian organization co-founded by Sean Penn and CEO Ann Lee, as
well as the REFORM Alliance, which focuses on passing laws to reform the criminal justice
system and protecting the incarcerated population from the spread of COVID.
Sean Penn spoke out about the table read, and although he won’t be reprising his same
role, he said QUOTE, “I’m always game for a giggle. So, to gather remotely for a
night of laughs with so many talented folks while providing CORE with much-needed resources
to continue our vital work, then consider us fully onboard to play.”
Fast Times at Ridgemont High’s director Amy Heckerling and screenwriter Cameron Crowne
are also set to make a special introduction before handing things over to the cast.
As for which roles the actors are playing, you’re just gonna have to tune into the
live event to find out.
The celebs in attendance are excited about lending their comedic skills for a good cause,
but all eyes will undoubtedly be on Brad and Jen that night.
Fans were begging for them to get back together after seeing their sweet interaction backstage
at the SAG Awards earlier this year.
Just before their mini-reunion, Brad was seen backstage completely in awe of Jen’s acceptance
speech for her role in The Morning Show, and was even caught saying, “Oh wow,” as he
watched.
This also won’t be the first time that Brad and Jen have shared a screen together, as
many Friends fans might recall, Brad starred in the 2001 Thanksgiving episode, where his
character Will ironically despised Jen’s character Rachel Green.
“Apparently you were, um, a little mean to him in high school.” “A little mean?
You made my life miserable.” “I -- I had no idea, I’m sorry! I --” “Well you
should be. Screw it, bring on the yams.” “Oh… Will, but you’ve worked so hard…”
“YAMS!” At this time of filming, they were also still
married, which makes this whole episode that much better.
Fans cannot wait to see Brad and Jen together again, as one user tweeted, “If Brad Pitt
and Jennifer Aniston were to get back together it would make all the bad shit of 2020 hurt
way less.”
Another user wrote, “I want them to get BACK together -- and not in a movie!”
If only it were that simple, BUT we love to see a friendly interaction between famous
exes, and we can only assume that the upcoming reunion will be filled with many laughs and
heartfelt moments.
You can stream the event online this Friday, August 21st at 8 p.m. eastern time on CORE’s
Facebook page and TikTok, so mark your calendars now!
