Jen and ex Brad turn up the heat for laughs
HOLLYWOOD’S former golden couple Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt can’t stop giggling as they take part in a racy script read- through for charity.
The duo, who were married for five years, had to flirt with each other for an X- rated scene from the 1982 movie Fast Times At Ridgemont High.
Brad, 56, took on the role of student Brad Hamilton while Jennifer, 51, was his love interest Linda Barrett.
She read out: “Hi, Brad, you know how cute I always thought you were. I think you’re so sexy. Will you come to me?”
The narrator, played by fellow A- lister Morgan Freeman, then came in to describe the scene, saying: “He walks to Linda. She reaches out and grabs him for a kiss, pulling him close...”
As the script became more explicit, Morgan, 83, paused to laugh and quip, “Lord have mercy!”
Brad, whose character’s daydream ends with Linda walking in on him in a compromising position in the bathroom, couldn’t stop laughing throughout.
Rekindled
Other actors taking part in the live- streamed event were also highly amused, especially Julia Roberts, 52, who voiced the part of Stacy Hamilton.
They were joined by actors Matthew McConaughey, Sean Penn, Ray Liotta, Henry Golding and Shia LaBeouf, TV host Jimmy Kimmel and singer- songwriter John Legend, with comedian Dane Cook as host.
The stellar cast was brought together via a Zoom video call, with money raised going to US charities Core and Reform Alliance.
Shia in particular threw himself into his role of perpetually stoned surfer Jeff Spicoli. The actor spent the table- read seated in the front of his parked truck while smoking a rolled- up cigarette.
In recent years Oscar- winner Brad and Friends star Jennifer have rekindled their friendship – and sparked rumours when they were pictured together in January at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
But fans hoping for a reunion are likely to be disappointed, with Brad rumoured to be dating 27- year- old model Nicole Poturalski following his divorce from second wife Angelina Jolie.
