00:00 "This is what they get."
00:01 "Yeah, it's you. It's amazing."
00:06 Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most
00:11 charming meetups between stars and their celebrity idols and infatuations.
00:16 "Drake?"
00:17 "Oh my god, that was y'all's?"
00:18 "That happened."
00:21 Number 10. Adele meets Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson
00:27 Adele has been a force to reckon with since the release of her debut album at the age of 19.
00:32 Nonetheless, we'd guess that her 2023 Grammy win for Best Pop Solo Performance was one of
00:38 her favorite honors to receive. "Oh, thank you. I really, um,
00:43 I really was just looking forward to coming tonight."
00:46 After all, it was presented to her by one of her favorite celebrities, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson.
00:52 Adele mentioned that the former wrestler was the one star she'd like to meet,
00:56 while talking with makeup vlogger, Nikki Tutorials.
00:59 "Someone I've never met that I think I would actually cry."
01:02 "Who?"
01:04 "Is The Rock, but I know he goes by Dwayne Johnson now."
01:07 "Stop, stop, no, wait, wait, wait, okay."
01:08 "I was the biggest wrestling fan when I was younger."
01:10 This led to Grammy host Trevor Noah facilitating a meeting between the pair just two years later.
01:16 That Johnson was the one to present Adele with her win just made the experience that much sweeter.
01:21 "It's about time to choose what I chose to do."
01:28 Number 9. Jennifer Lawrence meets Damian Lewis.
01:31 J. Law did what any reasonable fan would do when presented with their on-screen crush.
01:37 She freaked out.
01:38 "Somebody's got a crush on somebody."
01:40 "No, somebody has watched the two episodes, or two seasons of Homeland twice,
01:45 and I'm freaking out a little bit."
01:47 After briefly turning away from the Homeland star,
01:50 the actress ultimately gave Damian Lewis a hug and praised his work on the show.
01:55 Unfortunately, the meeting quickly turned sour when Lewis accidentally
01:59 spoiled Homeland's third season in his interview with a red carpet journalist.
02:04 "Are you upset that he died?"
02:05 "I'm 23 and I'm great."
02:06 "You know they killed him off."
02:07 "They killed him off."
02:08 "What?"
02:08 "They killed him off."
02:09 "They killed him off on the show."
02:10 Just one year prior, Lawrence had a similarly awe-inspiring run-in with Jack Nicholson,
02:16 in which the actor interrupted her post-Oscar interview,
02:19 and the pair showered each other with compliments.
02:22 Ever consistent, Lawrence has also been filmed
02:25 fawning over the likes of Matt Damon and Jeff Bridges.
02:28 "Hi!"
02:29 "Hey there!"
02:29 "Hi!"
02:30 "How are you?"
02:30 "Good to see you."
02:31 "I'm such a huge fan."
02:32 "Oh, good to see you."
02:34 "I'm so sorry."
02:35 "Good to see you."
02:35 "Sorry, good to see you. I'm so sorry for interrupting you."
02:37 We think it's safe to say, in spite of her stardom,
02:40 she's still the ultimate movie fangirl.
02:43 Number 8. Bryce Dallas Howard meets Jake Johnson.
02:47 Technically, this wasn't Bryce Dallas Howard's first time seeing Jake Johnson in the flesh.
02:53 "Oh no, he's here."
02:55 "No, no, he's right there, yeah."
02:56 But from the way she's acting, it might as well be.
03:00 The two actors co-starred together in 'Jurassic World',
03:03 a fact which Howard's husband was allegedly wary of given her huge crush on Johnson.
03:09 "I just can't acknowledge your presence, Jake. I'm sorry."
03:12 "Okay."
03:13 "Jake."
03:13 "I feel like I'm at home."
03:14 While both stars were being interviewed on 'The Late Late Show',
03:17 James Corden urged her to elaborate on the situation,
03:21 leading to her very forward confession.
03:23 Jake Johnson isn't just on her list.
03:26 "Jake is... Jake's my Hollywood crush."
03:30 "Right, but before the movie this exists..."
03:33 "Did I even applause?"
03:34 He is the list.
03:37 Apparently, she was similarly blunt on the set of their film,
03:40 immediately laying out the situation to Johnson when he arrived.
03:44 Number 7.
03:46 Cardi B meets Robert Pattinson.
03:48 Post 'Twilight', Robert Pattinson has been in a wide variety of films,
03:53 including superhero blockbuster 'The Batman'
03:55 and claustrophobic psychological thriller 'The Lighthouse'.
03:59 "Do you hear me, lad?"
04:00 "Yes, sir."
04:02 "Aye, sir."
04:03 "Aye, sir."
04:07 Nonetheless, he still can't shake the role that made him a star.
04:11 Although he previously derided the film,
04:13 he seems to have come to terms with its popularity in recent years.
04:17 "I do think there's something in that first movie,
04:19 as you can see that people like,
04:21 we're taking it seriously and it kind of has this,
04:24 has a, it has a passion to it."
04:26 This is good news for Cardi B,
04:27 whose apparent crush on the actor likely stemmed from his early role as a sparkling vampire.
04:32 "Come on, look at my friend, guys."
04:36 She posted a video of their chance meeting to Twitter,
04:39 captioning it,
04:39 "Look who I met the other day. I felt like a teen."
04:42 Number 6. Kiki Palmer meets Michael Ealy.
04:47 Did you know Kiki Palmer once had her own talk show?
04:50 Just Kiki only lasted a single season on BET,
04:53 which is a shame when you consider its iconic first episode.
04:57 "If you follow me on Twitter, you definitely know my number,
05:00 number, number, number, number one crush is Michael Ealy.
05:03 Yo, yo."
05:04 In it, Palmer gushed about her celebrity crush on Michael Ealy,
05:08 only to have him walk up behind her to surprise her with flowers.
05:12 The genuine shock on Palmer's face makes it clear that this meet and greet wasn't pre-planned.
05:17 Ealy and Palmer actually originally met on the set of 'Barbershop 2'
05:21 when Palmer was only nine years old.
05:23 "He'll never, ever see me the way that I want him to see me, y'all."
05:27 Considering their conversations probably went a lot differently back then,
05:32 we're glad she got this unique opportunity to reconnect,
05:35 and equally as glad that it was all caught on camera.
05:38 - "Oh my God!"
05:39 "Oh my God!"
05:43 Number 5. Emilia Clarke meets Matt LeBlanc.
05:47 Who knew that Joey would be the guy to make the 'Mother of Dragons' fold?
05:51 "Emilia Clarke loves Matt LeBlanc!"
05:53 When Graham Norton asked the fan favorite 'Game of Thrones' actress
05:58 whether or not she got a chance to speak with Matt LeBlanc backstage,
06:01 she became instantly coy before admitting she thought LeBlanc was, quote, "wicked."
06:06 Put on the spot by her affections, LeBlanc had to admit he was one of the few people
06:10 in the world not keeping up with 'Game of Thrones'.
06:13 "Do you watch 'Game of Thrones', Matt?"
06:14 "I watched it the first season, and then I kind of fell out of it,
06:18 and then I tried to watch it this season, and I don't know what's going on."
06:21 Emilia Clarke was quick to forgive him, but she did have one small request for the actor.
06:27 She wanted the former 'Friends' star to ask how she was doing.
06:30 Naturally, he obliged.
06:32 "How you doing?"
06:33 "I caught that from back there."
06:36 "It was!"
06:37 Number 4.
06:38 Kelly Clarkson meets Josh Brolin
06:41 As an American Idol winner turned talk show host,
06:44 Kelly Clarkson can boast a long list of stars she's personally become acquainted with.
06:49 "I'm such a fan of you."
06:50 "Thank you. I'm a fan of yours."
06:52 Her young children are most impressed with the fact that she's met Ariana Grande,
06:56 but it's clear from this interaction that Josh Brolin was a more exciting guest for her.
07:01 Clarkson couldn't help but gush over the actor's early role in 'The Goonies',
07:05 noting how surprised she was by the film's more mature content while re-watching.
07:10 "So who's your favorite character? I'm sorry to interrupt, but who's your favorite character?"
07:12 "This is gonna get awkward, but we were gonna get married, so that's why."
07:16 When Brolin interrupts to ask who her favorite character was,
07:21 she matter-of-factly answers about her wedding intentions.
07:24 Upon hearing this, he invites her over to the couch for a hug we're sure she'll never forget.
07:30 3. Sebastian Stan meets Sharon Stone
07:40 While many would likely lose their cool if they came face-to-face with their celebrity crush,
07:45 Sebastian Stan isn't the average guy.
07:48 "Are we witnessing the start of something here?"
07:50 "We, uh, we should probably talk about this later, but we've been wanting to meet each other for a
07:55 really long time."
07:56 In 2016, the Marvel star spent more time on the late-late show couch flirting with actress
08:02 Sharon Stone than he did promoting his new movie. Thankfully, she seemed receptive to
08:07 his complimentary banter, laughing and playing along with some equally flirtatious lines.
08:12 "How would one ask Sharon Stone on a date in Romania? Kinda like this, 'ce face?'"
08:17 "Would you bite me in the neck?"
08:19 "Oh my god!"
08:20 She finally broke his smooth demeanor when she admitted that he was, quote,
08:29 "pretty cute."
08:30 Show host James Corden seemed delighted by the entire exchange.
08:34 If Stone was really worried that no one would want to date her prior to this interview,
08:38 she couldn't have found a better confidence booster than Stan.
08:42 "You've had, I mean, you must have had some great headshots. Come on, back and, I mean, like, no?"
08:47 Number 2. Simone Biles meets Zac Efron.
08:50 Once a wildcat, always a wildcat.
08:54 Simone Biles was just 9 years old when High School Musical aired on Disney Channel for
08:58 the first time. But her love for the franchise, and its star, endures into her adult life.
09:05 "Simone, can I just ask you one question? What's going on right now?"
09:09 "I'm shaking, I'm so scared!"
09:14 While doing press for the 2016 Rio Olympics, the young gymnast was gifted a Zac Efron
09:20 leotard by Ellen DeGeneres, and encouraged by Today host Hoda Kotb to make an on-air request
09:26 for Efron's presence at the team finals.
09:29 "When I found out you guys were fans, I was like, 'What am I doing sitting here on the couch? I
09:33 have to come see, like, come hang out and support you guys.'"
09:35 Not wanting to disappoint the multi-gold winning Final Five,
09:39 Zac Efron made his way to Rio for a surprise visit.
09:42 "Is that the Final Five?"
09:51 The team was overjoyed, Biles in particular.
09:54 Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
09:58 Yahya Abdul-Mateen II meets Julia Roberts
10:02 27 years after "Hook," Yahya came face-to-face with his Tinkerbell.
10:08 "You were my first, uh, my first human, human crush. Yeah. I was five years old,
10:15 and you were Tinkerbell. You were, you were my Tinkerbell."
10:19 Jack Harlow meets Saweetie, turning on the charm at the BET Awards.
10:24 "You don't like getting caught up, girl?"
10:25 "Why you shaking?"
10:26 "Am I?"
10:27 "Yeah."
10:27 "Nobody's shaking. Nobody's shaking."
10:33 Jennifer Coolidge meets Jeremy Allen White
10:36 A hairdresser's Coolidge candle is the perfect setup for the actress's crush confession.
10:41 "I rigged that because I've had a crush on you, and, um, I asked Ali, I sent that candle."
10:46 "You just sent it in there so I could be staring at it for the setup. Good."
10:50 Taryn Edgerton meets Rachel Weisz
10:52 Variety had the receipts ready for this actors-on-actors pairing.
10:56 "Growing up, who was your first ever celebrity crush?"
10:59 "Rachel Weisz."
11:00 "Oh."
11:01 "I cannot believe you're doing that to me."
11:02 "Oh no, we don't need to."
11:03 "Thanks for that, guys. So here we are. Here we are now sitting in the, um, in the awkwardness."
11:08 "Well, I'm very honored."

11:25 1. Hayley Lou Richardson meets Nick Jonas
11:31 As a young girl, Hayley Lou Richardson was the quintessential Jonas Brothers fangirl.
11:36 She made a custom tie for Nick, and waited hours in line to meet the band.
11:40 "You have been a lifelong fan, and I don't know how old you are in this photo,
11:46 but look at you here with the Jonas Brothers. When was this and how deep does this love go?"
11:51 She had no way of knowing that she'd one day grow up to live out every fan's dream.
11:56 During an episode of "The Late Late Show," James Corden facilitated a modern meeting between
12:01 Richardson and her longtime crush, Nick Jonas.
12:04 "Is this a recorded, pre-recorded video?"
12:06 "Not, I promise you. I literally just finished — oh my —
12:11 "Oh my — what did you just finish?"
12:16 "Uh, I just finished 'White Lotus' last night."
12:18 She composed herself long enough to sincerely thank him for the impact he had on her childhood,
12:23 and express her happiness for his continued success.
12:26 "I'm so happy for your lives, and your creative endeavors, and your families, and I love you."
12:32 Following this short conversation, Richardson was asked to be a part of the Jonas Brothers
12:38 music video for "Wings," and even hired as today's official Jonas Brothers correspondent.
