Celebrities, including Jake Gyllenhaal, Brad Pitt 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.”
Pitt, for his part, remembered what it was like meeting one of his all-time favorite actors Luke Perry, while the duo worked on Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. The movie was released two months after the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum died in March 2019 after suffering a massive stroke at age 52.
“Man, he was so incredibly humble and amazing and absolutely committed,” Pitt told Esquire in a summer 2019 interview. “He couldn’t have been a more friendly, wonderful guy to spend time with. I got to sit down and have some wonderful conversations with him. It was really special.”
