Former Hollywood couple Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston have been reunited on screen in a racy read through of 1982 teen movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
Performing together via Zoom, Pitt, 56, and Aniston, 51, took on the roles of amorous high school students Brad Hamilton and Linda Barrett.
The reading which was packed to the gills with A-list stars was set up to support charities Core and Reform Alliance in their efforts to alleviate the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

Their X-rated scene kicked off with Aniston's line: "Hi Brad. You know how cute I always thought you were. I think you're so sexy. Would you come to me?"
In the film it's part of a day-dream scenario, where Brad is imagining Linda making a move on him.
The narrator, played by Morgan Freeman, then came in to describe the scene: "He walks to Linda. She reaches out and grabs him for a kiss, pulling him close. Then she pushes him away so he can watch as she carefully unstraps the top of bathing suit.
"The incredible Linda Barrett's breasts fall loose, Lord have mercy. She takes Brad's hands and places them on her as she begins unbuttoning his shirt. They're just about to fall into passionate lovemaking when…"
Throughout the scene, Pitt -who is wearing a green T-shirt and wearing his long blonde hair loose around his face -is holding back laughter.

Looking down at his script, at the point his character is interrupted during an intimate moment in the bathroom, he allowed himself a chuckle.
Fellow cast members including Julia Roberts, Matthew McConaughey, John Legend and Sean Penn also giggle throughout.
Always the professional, Aniston, wearing aviator-style glasses and a strappy summer top, remains straight faced throughout, committing to the part whole-heartedly.
Actors Judge Reinhold and Phoebe Cates originally played the roles in the Californian coming-of-age drama.
Henry Golding, Shia LaBeouf, Jimmy Kimmel and Ray Liotta also took part in the reading, along with host Dane Cook.

Despite a very public break up, Pitt and Aniston have rekindled their friendship over recent years and were pictured together in January 2020 at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Both took home an award on the night (Pitt for Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and Aniston for The Morning Show) but all eyes were on the couple's backstage meet-up where they embraced and chatted.
Pitt was married to Aniston from 2000 to 2005, before an acrimonious split after which he got together with Angelina Jolie.
Jolie and Pitt, who have six children together, finally married in 2014, but broke up two years later. Their divorce was finalised in 2019.
Aniston married Justin Theroux (cousin of British documentary maker Louis) in 2015, but they separated two years later.
