18 Times Actors Reunited With Their Stage Colleagues Many Years After Filming

A group of scientists together with professor Christel Antonia Russel conducted a study to try to find out why we like to watch TV series and films, read books, and return to places we like over and over again. One of the reasons is that it gives us an opportunity to assess the changes in our lives using a book or a film as a measuring tool.

Bright Side has chosen our favorite films and TV series to reminisce about the moments of our lives and have a look at the actors who’ve finally found each other again many years after working together.
