Appearing on Tuesday's Tonight with Jimmy Fallon, the Charlie's Angels actress revealed the reasons why she wanted to "reconnect" with her ex. "The thing that I love about Tom was that he was one of the first people to put a camera on his life, when it was giant camcorder, all his stuff was on VHS," she told the host.

"It's what gave me the idea, I just said 'Would you want to reconnect, I feel like it's been a long time? I would just like to honour what you did, you broke down all those doors, and I would love to have it as an excuse for us to say hello?'"
Opening up about her former partner's sense of humour, she added: "I sent him a video and he sent me one back, and immediately he made me laugh and that's like my kryptonite. I just wanted to have a lot of dignity and a gentle moment."
