    'I'm freaking out, she's two arm-lengths away right now.'

    Oh Em Geeee wouldn’t it just be THE BEST thing in the world to meet your ultimate celebrity hero? As mere mortals it would be totally fine, nay, compulsory, for us to completely lose our cool and jump all over them. But if you yourself are a celebrity, out to meet a fellow A-lister? Well you’ve got to try to keep that inner fan girl under control. Here are all the times celebrities just couldn’t contain their excitement when meeting other celebrities…

    When Emilia Clarke Met Matt LeBlanc... Emilia 'Mother of Dragons' Clarke was busy promoting her latest film, Me Before You, on The Graham Norton Show when she ran into Joey from Friends of all people. Like any good Friends fan (ie. everyone!), Emilia asked the star for a photo, and judging from her Insta-caption, it's safe to say she was pretty ecstatic, 'How YOU doin??! Downright GIDDY now!! Bucket list accomplishment already underway with this gem (both in Joey and Matt form) (@mebeforeyouofficial tour you made a 90's girl oh so happy. #butmattseriosulyillbethereforyouuuuh #dontupposeanyoneknowswherejaniswent? #noshameinthefriendsgameinstaworld'

    When Sasha Obama Met Ryan Reynolds… Well you would get all giggly if you were face-to-face with a hottie like Ryan Reynolds, wouldn’t you? The best bit though? President Obama’s oldest daughter, Malia, is right there in the background, giving her little sister Sasha the thumbs up. Best wingwoman ever.

    When Jennifer Lawrence Met Kim Kardashian… When you see your favourite on the TV, and then suddenly, there they are in the flesh before you, it must be hard to get your head around. So when Jennifer Lawrence met Kim Kardashian for the first time, she did what any self-respecting Oscar winning actress would do. She screamed at her. ‘I was in NYC and I ran into Jennifer Lawrence,’ Kim would later tell The Sun. ‘We said, 'Hi' and walked into the elevator and just as the doors were closing she screamed across the lobby, 'I love your show!'’ Epic.

    When Rita Ora Met Madonna… If your favourite celebrity asked you to do ANYTHING for them, how far would you go? Would you bow, or kneel if they asked you to? Well that’s exactly what Rita Ora did when she first met Queen of Pop, Madonna in 2013. ‘I was once doing a charity event and I met my idol Madonna,’ she told Glamour. ‘I was waiting for her and I was shivering…I was like, ‘I think I am going to be sick’. And Madonna walks in with lighting all around her. I said, ‘Hi, it is so nice to meet you’ and she was like, ‘This is the lighting here. Can you just kneel down here on the floor?’ So I kneeled down on the floor and we had this conversation where I was on the floor. But that is Madonna and she can do whatever she wants. That was major. Everything is a learning curve.’

    When Anne Hathaway Met Mariah Carey…

    When Emma Stone Met Mel B… Emma Stone, award-winning actress and Spice Girls super-fan, received a video message from none other than Mel B, causing her to break down in hysterics mid-TV interview. ‘Oh my god, is Mel B talking to me? I’m legitimately crying, I’m the biggest Spice Girl fan ever.’
