Spotting a celebrity in public—as thrilling and adrenaline generating as it may be—can be a very stressful experience. Do you play it cool, and merely glance up as Kate Bosworth flips through the rack at J.Crew, not even so much as raising your phone for a covert blurry picture, perhaps texting five friends as you walk out of the store (“she bought a white blouse-y thing!!!!!”)? Or do you decide that this is a “once in a lifetime” chance to meet a celebrity, and strut over, in the half-full restaurant, and interrupt Orlando Bloom as he finishes a dessert (“Hi, I’m so sorry to bother you, but I loved you in . . . uh, in everything!”)? There are so many potential ways to react, with the specific setting, the amount of passion you feel toward that given celebrity, whether you’re by yourself or with friends, among other variables, all determining how things might play out.

This all makes Anne Hathaway’s semi-freak-out on the red carpet of her new film, The Intern, in the presence of Mariah Carey, extremely relatable. As you can see in this video footage, Hathaway is being interviewed by a reporter, while Carey—who attended the premiere—is being interviewed right behind her. We can see Hathaway—clearly a major Carey fan—nearly explode (“It’s just . . . the best glamorous ever,” she gushes—yes, that’s what she says—in very endearing fashion), and then, after getting over her initial elation, work through whether or not she should approach the singer. (Ultimately, she makes a wise and considered decision—in very Hathaway form—which we will not spoil for you.)
