Scarlett Johansson and Topher Grace unexpectedly reunited on Today with Jenna and Friends on Friday, Jan. 24, 20 years after starring opposite in In Good Company.

Johansson, 40, and Jenna Bush Hager spoke with Grace, 46, on the show, where the actor was promoting his upcoming action film, Flight Risk. But Grace’s appearance also served as a sweet moment between the two actors.

At the beginning of his interview segment, Bush Hager began introducing his new film, but Grace wanted to discuss his and Johansson’s history.

“We haven't seen each other for I don't want to say it. It’s been like decades of time," Johansson said.

Grace admitted to feeling nervous and intimidated when he learned Johansson would costar in the movie with him.

“When I got that role, I heard Scarlet was going to do it, and I was a little bit intimidated,” he said. “You'd just been nominated for two Golden Globes for different movies.”

Johansson, then 19, was nominated for best actress in a motion picture – drama for her work in Girl with a Pearl Earring and best actress in a motion picture – comedy or musical for her work in Lost in Translation.

“I was like, ‘Oh, man,’ ” he added. “And then, and then I found out that you're so lovely and down to earth. And we had a blast.”

“We had a great time. It didn't seem like you were. I think we were both equally nervous to work with..." Johansson said before the That’s 70s Show alum agreed they were both actually nervous to work with Dennis Quaid.

In the 2004 romantic comedy, Grace played a young new boss whose employee, played by Quaid, is the father of his secret girlfriend, played by the Black Widow star.
