The 6-foot-5-inch Houston Texans football star was anything but tough when he unexpectedly met Aniston on July 13 at their shared talent agency. "I'm not even going to try to pretend like I acted cool when this happened #lifemade," Watt captioned his beaming Instagram pic with the actress. And the guy couldn't stop gushing: The next day he told the Associated Press that meeting Aniston had been a longtime goal. "It was incredible. She was very sweet."

Several big-name Hollywood influencers attended the TIME 100 gala on Tuesday, including Martha Stewart, Emma Watson, Katie Couric and Bradley Cooper, but Kardashian patiently reserved her freak-out for country's hottest couple.

Swift may be the princess of pop right now, but of course she freaked out about performing with the queen, Madonna, at the iHeart Music Radio Awards. "I might be okay but I'm NOT FINE AT ALL," she Tweeted after the March event. "#MyFangirlLife. #TaylorAndMadonna."

JENNIFER LAWRENCE <3 JEFF BRIDGES

JENNIFER LAWRENCE

When Lawrence ran into Bridges at Comic-Con in 2013, she lost Every. Single. Ounce. Of. Chill. The actress rushed toward him to say hello, then ran away in a panic, lurking in the corner until she finally worked up the courage to approach him again to hug him and gush, "I'm such a huge fan. Oh, my God, I'm so sorry."

We couldn't include J. Law only once – she is by far Hollywood's most unapologetic fan girl. On a 2013 episode of Conan, the actress admitted she basically stalked John Stamos when she spotted him at a party. "I turned into a perverted guy," Lawrence recounted. "I was like following him into rooms and staring at his ass. I lost my mind."

Okay, we promise this is the last J. Law incident (though we could have included thousands). At the 2014 SAG Awards, the actress spotted Damian Lewis and basically had a nervous break-down. And then, things got even more intense when the reporter spoiled Homeland for her …

When you're lucky, your idol idolizes you, too. When Washington Tweeted "Song of the day (meaning it played in my workout this morning amp I CANT get it outta my head!) @selenagomez THE HEART WANTS WHAT IT WANTS," Gomez responded with even more fan girl intensity – "@kerrywashington I can't move #Gladiatorfolife," adding a prayer hands emoji and heart emoji for extra emphasis.

And in 2011, Gomez was adorably shy when she met her celeb crush, Shia LaBeouf. (Who knows if she's still attracted to him now that he's rocking a braided rattail?)

Apparently all Trainor needed to achieve life completion was to meet her pop idol. "K my life is complete. I met @hilaryduff and we sang my song #allaboutthatbass," she captioned a 2014 photo of herself with the Duffster.

Seeing as Winfrey has met every important person in existence, it's the absolute highest human honor for the icon to freak out about meeting you. "My first time meeting Mick Jagger!" she captioned a selfie of the two from 2013. "And yes he dances like MICK JAGGER?"

"I must have tried on like six outfits," Witherspoon told Ellen DeGeneres about meeting the Duchess of Cambridge at a 2012 fundraiser. "I'm meeting a princess. You don't understand. You have to be wearing the right outfit and the whole thing. I don't know, maybe we can be friends." After raving about Kate's beauty and grace and composure, Witherspoon slyly added: "I would like to hang out."
