10+ Times Our Favorite Stars Reunited and Sprinkled Nostalgia Everywhere

It’s been said that the difference between nostalgia and melancholy is simple: being nostalgic means being joyful about positive memories, while melancholia is being gloomy about the very same memories. Our article focuses on the good times — like when former co-stars that worked together years or decades ago got together again. Some of them were barely kids during their first collab, while others were young adults. Let’s take a look at these reunions together and try to guess which of them spent the most time apart.
