Brad and Jen first became an item in 1998 and married in a ceremony in Malibu in 2000. The couple stayed together for five years but separated in 2005.

Despite both being big stars in the film industry, the pair have rarely worked together. According to the Metro, the most notable occasion was when Brad made an appearance on an episode of the series "Friends" in 2001.

Despite their history, the former husband and wife have remained friends, and their connection has strengthened in recent years. Brad and Jen were pictured earlier this year at the 26th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards congratulating each other on their achievements as they bumped into each other backstage.

Sean Penn, who starred in the original 1982 hit film, will also be taking part alongside Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, Jimmy Kimmel, Julia Roberts, Matthew McConaughey, Shia LaBeouf, Morgan Freeman, Henry Golding, and Dane Cook, reports the Metro. This won't come as a surprise as CORE is Penn's organization. In a press release, Penn stated:

"I'm always game for a giggle. So to gather remotely for a night of laughs with so many talented folks while providing CORE with much-needed resources to continue our vital work—then consider us fully onboard to play!"

The event will be streamed live on CORE's Facebook and TikTok accounts on August 21–you won't want to miss it! There will also be an opportunity for people to donate to the cause and all proceeds will benefit CORE's COVID-19 relief efforts.
