TheLA Timescaptured the moment perfectly.

Here's what some of these celebs are probably thinking:

Casey Affleck: "Have I died and gone to Hell?"

Matt Damon: "You've gone too far this time, Kimmel!"

Michelle Williams: "I'm so surprised I have to put my hand under my chin to keep my jaw from hitting the floor."

Busy Phillips: "Thank you, Michelle Williams, for giving me the chance to witness this truly insane moment."

Salma Hayek: "I knew this was going to happen and I couldn't stop it."

Ben Affleck: "Damn, Mel Gibson's girlfriend is hot."

Dwayne Johnson: "Should I jump in and save them?"

Meryl Streep: "BRUHHHHHHHHHHH LMAO"
