Celebrities, including Jake Gyllenhaal and more, are just like Us when it comes to meeting their idols — and other famous stars.
Gyllenhaal recalled being starstruck when he met Pitt on the set of The Good Girl in the early 2000s.
“I was working with Jennifer Aniston, who was his wife at the time, and there were a lot of very racy scenes. I remember putting my hand out to shake his, and accidentally hitting the door,” Gyllenhaal told the outlet. “[Brad] said, so confidently and kindly, ‘Well, you have another one. It’s all right.’ He was very, very, very sweet to me, and it was actually a really lovely exchange. But, yeah, I was starstruck.”
Doctor Who alum Jodie Whittaker, meanwhile, was completely floored when she met Jennifer Lopez on the set of their joint movie, Office Romance.
“[She’s] one of the most beautiful human beings I’ve ever seen,” Whittaker told The Times of London in September 2025. “I probably appeared incredibly vacant because for the first five minutes I was going, ‘How?’”
