Zoom calls have gotten pretty boring during lockdown, with the exception of the glimpses we are getting into celebrities’ lives and homes as they embrace video calls to connect with fans.
Here are some our favourite celebrity Zoom reunions of lockdown so far:

This isn’t the first Zoom cast reunion Josh Gad has assembled. His YouTube series, Reunited Apart, has so far featured video chats with the cast of Splash and Back To The Future, all to raise money for charity.
Josh may have made the idea his own, but he didn’t invent the celebrity Zoom reunion. Different celebrities have done their part to gather their famous friends for various reasons.
