The best reactions to Angelina Jolie and Paul Mescal hanging out

Paul Mescal and Angelina Jolie have been pictured hanging out, and the internet is obsessed with trying to figure out exactly what they were talking about.

Thanks to the existence of memes, often social media's reaction to something happening is even better than the thing itself. Just look at *that* yellow dress Rihanna wore to the Met Gala, or the internet furore over #BakedAlaskaGate on Great British Bake Off.

Now, it's new photos of Paul Mescal and Angelina Jolie that has got everyone hyped up. The pair were pictured having a coffee at London's Almeida Café & Bar, alongside Angelina's 16-year-old daughter, Shiloh.

It's thought Angelina and Shiloh had just seen Paul perform in the play A Streetcar Named Desire, and thanks to the speculation surrounding his love life right now, fans are kind of obsessed.

ICYMI, rumours that Paul had split from Phoebe Bridgers were rife last month, despite previous engagement news. Although details about what actually happened are sparse, outlets included Jezebel reported that she'd been spotted with comedian Bo Burnham, "making out" and "canoodling."

While that's not exactly what Angelina and Paul were spotted doing, fans are still in overdrive on Twitter:

Of course, Angelina and Paul could easily have just been having a coffee and chatting about the play, in a fairly innocuous and casual way.

But still, we can dream, right?
