What’s up guys, it’s Sussan Mourad with Clevver News, and the flirty tension between Brad Pitt
and Jennifer Aniston while reading some seriously steamy lines together during the
Fast Times table read is quite possibly the best thing we’ve seen all year.
We’ve been eagerly waiting for the Fast Times at Ridgemont High table read to be released for
quite some time, in large part because of this teaser photo that went viral earlier this week
of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston beaming with happiness during their virtual hang.
Last night’s charity event was the first time Brad and Jen have shared the screen together in years,
so naturally it was a big deal for fans who were hoping to get even the slightest
sweet exchange between the friendly exes… and boy did they deliver!
While all appearing on screen, actors including Julia Roberts,
Matthew McConaughey, Sean Penn, Morgan Freeman, Henry Golding, Shia Lebouf, Ray Liotta,
Jimmy Kimmel and John Legend took a few seconds to greet each other before kicking things off.
Fans were quick to notice that the initial exchange between Brad and Jen,
who were married from 2000 to 2005, was pretty adorable as they also greeted each other before
the table read began, and it was like we were reliving the year 2000 all over again…
Hi everyone! Hi Aniston!” “Hi Pitt!” How ya doin’?” “Good,
honey, how’re you doin’?” “I’m alright!”
Anyone else just replay those five seconds over and over again?
Fans of the two, myself DEFINITELY included,
clearly couldn’t get enough of these two from the beginning and even proceeded to relate
Brad’s greeting to Friends character Joey Tribbiani’s famous “How you doin’?” line.
The event’s host Dane Cook kicked off the table read,
which was part of a fundraiser that will benefit relief efforts amid the ongoing global crisis.
Each actor was given a role and specific lines to read from that role, as Brad played
Brad Hamilton, and Jen took the part of Linda Barrett,
naturally the girl who Brad’s character lusts over in the 1982 film.
Something tells me these parts weren’t just given to Brad and Jen by accident,
but regardless, you KNOW some serious flirtation is about to commence.
What comes next is exactly what fans were here for which just so happened to be acting out one
of the most embarrassing, and steamy scenes in the entire film -- Brad’s infamous dream sequence
where he pictures a bikini-bearing Linda seducing him as she climbs out of his swimming pool.
This all starts when Brad takes a… um, “private” moment to please
himself in the bathroom and falls into a daydream when Jen proceeds to read
Linda’s line and it was as if she was talking straight to the REAL Brad himself…
“Hi Brad, you know how cute I always thought you were. You’re so sexy. Will you come to me?”
Brad clearly struggled to keep a straight face throughout the entire scene,
but fans were LIVING for this part of the read. ME included!
My absolute fave Morgan Freeman played the narrator throughout the night,
detailing Brad’s dream about Linda, to which the two would begin to partake
in a little love-making… all in Brad’s dream, of course.
Buuuut then the dream gets cut short when Linda actually walks in on Brad taking care of business…
The words barely escape his mouth.” “Wait just a minute!”
“Oh god, I’m so sorry! I did not know anyone was in here!”
Many other actors in the table read couldn’t contain their laughter, including Jimmy
Kimmel and Matthew McConaughey, and fans who began sending in reactions via social media.
This interaction sparked excitement from fans of
ALL ages, some of which didn't even remember when Brad and Jen were married.
This user wrote, “I wasn’t even old enough to care about Brad
Pitt and Jennifer Aniston when they were together, why is this making me scream?!”
Another fan tweeted, “Jennifer Aniston and Brad
Pitt’s friendship is the strangest and cutest thing that happened this year.”
This person also pointed out QUOTE, “I could write 10,000 words on this video. Jennifer Aniston
is playing it so fucking cool but Brad Pitt is clearly embarrassed. I LOVE MY DIVORCED PARENTS.”
But it was Barstool Sports’ account ‘Chicks in the Office’ who summed up this entire scene perfectly,
tweeting, “Brad Pitt & Jennifer Aniston fake flirting is something 2020 deserved.”
Amen to that!
We’re thrilled to hear that this virtual event was a complete success,
and that every one of these A-listers were able to come together to support a good cause!
