Sean Penn asked some of his new friends to do a virtual table read of Fast Times at Ridgemont High to raise money for his charity. Core does a lot of amazing work like providing COVID-19 testing sites in hard-hit areas.
I say new friends because he didn’t ask any of his co-stars from the original movie to do it. Instead, he had Julia Roberts read Jennifer Jason Leigh’s Stacy, Jennifer Aniston was Phoebe Cate’s Linda, and a stoned Shia LaBeouf filled in for Penn.
Who played Brad? Brad Pitt, of course. Shortly before the table read went live, Judge Reinhold, who originally held his part, I mean the part, asked his fans to watch. When it came to him talking about Pitt filling his huge pirate hat, he said, “I think Brad Pitt, is playing me, which would only make sense, cause the resemblance is uncanny.” Yes, it is.
Is it just me, or does Reinhold look better now than he did in the 1982 film that never gets old?
On that note, do you want to see the table read, then
