Pitt-aniston ‘Fast Times’ reunion is awkward

Tense moments test actors not to burst out laughing

The Brad Pitt-jennifer Aniston reunion tour made another stop Thursday night as the former couple participated in a virtual table read of the film “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” — and things got pretty steamy.

That’s because the Alisters were cast as teenagers Linda Barnett and Brad Hamilton, roles originated by Phoebe Cates and Judge Reinhold in Amy Heckerling’s 1982 teen comedy, written by Cameron Crowe.

The oft-delayed event was presented Thursday by Dane Cook’s “Feelin’ A-live,” a fundraising campaign for COVID-19 relief and criminal justice reform. It featured a star-studded cast participating through video-conferencing and included a slew of Oscar winners and A-listers: Matthew Mcconaughey, Julia Roberts, Shia Labeouf, John Legend (and a glam cameo from wife Chrissy Teigen), Ray Liotta, Henry Golding and CORE co-founder and former “Fast Times” star Sean Penn.

L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti introduced the read.

Aniston and Pitt, who divorced in 2005 but sparked plenty of reunion rumors last year, were assigned the iconic daydream sequence in which Pitt’s character is, uh, pleasuring himself in a bathroom while imagining being seduced by sex queen Linda as she emerges from his swimming pool.

The actors, and their fellow celebrity participants, struggled not to laugh during the suggestive read, even with screen directions narrated by none other than Morgan Freeman. Freeman gamely threw in a “Lord have mercy” while reading the quasi-pornographic narration.
