Lili Reinhart is known for keeping it real with her followers on social – even if her thoughts sometimes goes against popular opinion.
Many fans have been buzzing over a recent onscreen – albeit, virtual – reunion of exes Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt. The clip of the former couple’s interaction has gone uber viral. But Lili’s hoping that fans would leave them in peace.
“Unpopular opinion: can we just leave Jennifer and Brad alone?” Reinhart wrote. “Stop analyzing their every move and facial expression whenever they’re involved in something together. Let them live their lives in peace,” the Riverdale actress tweeted.
ICYMI, Jen and Brad recently took part in a star-studded virtual table read of Dane Cook’s Feelin’ A-Live. The hour-long event highlighted beloved scenes from the 1982 cult classic Fast Times At Ridgemont High as a fundraiser for CORE (Community Organized Relief Effort), a humanitarian organization co-founded by Penn, and Reform Alliance in the fight against COVID-19.
The former couple, along with stars including Jimmy Kimmel, Morgan Freeman, Henry Golding, Shia LaBeouf, Matthew McConaughey, Sean Penn and Julia Roberts, and more, teamed up for an unrehearsed, anything-goes table read of the coming-of-age film.
Here’s the catch: going in, none of these big-name celebs knew who would be playing which character!
During the reading, Morgan Freeman totally knocked it out of the park as the narrator. Meanwhile, Brad played the role of Brad Hamilton. Jen played Linda Barrett, who is the best friend of his sister Stacy, played by Julia.
One of the scenes featured on the table read was when Brad (the character) has a fantasy about Linda emerging from their pool wearing a red bikini.
And Jen had to say this line to Brad – in character, of course! – “Hi, Brad. You know how cute I always thought you were. I think you’re so sexy. Will you come to me?”
But just when their characters are about to get it on in the daydream, in the film, Linda walks in on Brad (again, the character) in the bathroom , abruptly cutting the fantasy short.
And, yes, their co-stars could hardly contain themselves. Julia was trying her best to keep from laughing out loud. Jimmy literally started giggling. And Morgan was all, “Lord, have mercy.”
Fans also couldn’t get enough of their “delightfully awkward and ironic and weirdly sweet” moment.
“I’m watching some of #FastTimesLive and I have some thoughts: 1) I LOVE seeing Brad and Jen together on the same screen 😍 2) Shia LaBeouf is making me anxious. I feel like any minute he’s going to go off-script. 3) Morgan Freeman is a national treasure,” one fan tweeted, adding, “Annnnd there was just a love scene between Brad and Jen’s characters. It was delightfully awkward and ironic and weirdly sweet. I LIVE. #FastTimesLive”
“jennifer aniston and brad pitt’s full “spicy” scene as linda barrett and brad hamilton on “fast times at ridgemont high”s virtual table read. THIS WAS WAY TOO FUNNY 😂#FastTimesLive,” another wrote.
“Watching Julia Roberts and Jennifer Aniston both in a live script reading of Fast Times at Ridgemont High is the highlight of 2020 for me personally. #FastTimesLive,” a fan began, but soon followed it up with, “Actually, Jen coming onto Brad (in character) and telling him he’s sexy is my highlight of 2020 #FastTimesLive”
And another fan pointed out, “Y’all saw Julia Roberts cracking up at Brad & Jen lol #FastTimesLive.”
“That was sooooo cute!!! Hahahahaha Brad and Jen! Brad and Linda!!!” one person tweeted.
