A seemingly innocent virtual table reading of the 1982 teen classic “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” by some of Hollywood’s finest had many on social media swooning over the steamy, flirty scenes.

Jennifer Aniston and ex-husband Brad Pitt were part of a star-studded reading of the film Thursday, which included Morgan Freeman, Julia Roberts, John Legend, Matthew McConaughey, Shia LaBeouf, Jimmy Kimmel and the original star of the film Sean Penn, who originally played main character Jeff Spicoli.

LaBeouf handled the honor of playing Spicoli, even making it authentic by performing shirtless throughout the virtual production.

Aniston, 51, played Linda Barrett, who became popular in 1980s pop culture due to Phoebe Cates’ portrayal. Pitt, 56, played Brad Hamilton, who was portrayed by Judge Reinhold in the movie.

“Hi, Brad,” Aniston as Linda said to Pitt. “You know how cute I always thought you were. I think you’re so sexy. Will you come to me?”

Fans were floored by the great acting or perhaps lingering sexual tension between the two stars. The couple was married from 2000 until 2005.

Others were taken aback by Freeman’s narration of rather-suggestive scenes.

The reading was performed to raise money for the emergency relief nonprofit, CORE, which Penn founded.
