Incredible: Brad Pitt could not tear his eyes away from his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston as she accepted her award for Best Female Actor at Sunday's SAG Awards
The behind-the-scenes video has thrilled fans after Brad was seen to stop everything in a bid to watch his ex-wife make her emotional speech.
Earlier in the evening, while staring into each other's eyes, Brad and ex Jennifer enjoyed an emotional reunion backstage as they congratulated each other at the SAGs - just moments after Pitt had trashed his other ex-wife, Angelina Jolie.
Joking about being single as Jennifer watched on from the floor, Brad said he would add the picture of him collecting the award to his Tinder profile.
Jennifer, whom Brad famously left after five years of marriage in 2005, received an award for The Morning Show - leading to Brad's incredulous reaction.

The pair were later photographed clasping hands, Brad gently grabbing her wrist as she walked away. Another photo showed Jennifer gently touching Brad's chest.
During his own acceptance remarks, Jennifer smiled - even when he poked fun at Angelina , 44, the women widely credited with breaking up their marriage.
'Let's be honest. It was a difficult part,' Pitt said. 'A guy who gets high, takes his shirt off and doesn't get on with his wife. It was a big stretch,' he added.

The couple split in 2005 after he had an affair with Angelina.
He went on to marry the Tomb Raider actress in 2014, but they split in 2016, and the couple finally divorced last year.
Brad and Jennifer have remained friends and have been supportive of each other in recent years, with Brad attending Jennifer's 50th birthday bash in February.
Before the ceremony, Brad was asked by Entertainment Tonight about possibly bumping into his ex-wife.
'I’ll run into Jen, she’s a good friend. Yeah,' Pitt told ET.
He was told that the world wanted to see a photo of them together at the event, he joked: 'The second most important reunion of her year? I understand. … That was a play on Friends. They were saying that.'
He was referring to Jennifer, Christina Applegate, and Reese Witherspoon, all of whom were at the show and who played sisters on the long-running NBC sitcom.
Jennifer was also asked about fans hoping for a reconciliation between the former lovebirds. 'It's hysterical,' said the Friends icon, who recently divorced from second husband Justin Theroux. 'But what else are they going to talk about?'
