CELEBRITY Idols
It's hard to imagine someone as famous as Leonardo DiCaprio, Ariana Grande, or Chris Hemsworth being starstruck—but it happens! And there are hilarious stories (and tattoos) to prove it.
Ariana DeBose was mid-conversation at the Oscars when Morgan Freeman appeared at her side, and she gasped and froze. He returned her shocked look and she replied, "No I just really respect and love you a lot, sir." She shook his hand and added, “And my name’s Ariana and it’s a pleasure to meet you.” She clarified how to spell her name and then got out of the way for his interview.
DeBose shared the clip on her Instagram which is followed by a clip of Ryan Seacrest asking Freeman, "What do fellow actors say when they meet you?" Freeman thought for a moment, then gasped and raised his eyebrows. He laughed and Kelly Ripa added, "Just like Ariana DeBose's reaction." DeBose is all of us on that one.
