Brie Larson’s Starstruck Meltdown When Meeting Jennifer Lopez Is So Damn Pure

Brie Larson is apparently a major J-Lo fangirl.

On the Golden Globes red carpet Sunday night, the “Captain Marvel” star broke down in tears when she had the opportunity to meet Jennifer Lopez.

Larson was chatting to “Entertainment Tonight” when she spotted the pop culture icon nearby.

“Oh my God, I’m gonna cry. I can’t deal with J-Lo,” she said, fanning her face.

As Lopez approached, Larson called out tearfully, “You mean so much to me!”

“I’m such a huge fan,” Lopez told her as they embraced.

“I saw ‘Selena’ and it made me want to be an actor, and you’ve always meant so much to me,” Larson said, referencing Lopez’s 1997 film.

“Oh my God, don’t make me cry!” Lopez exclaimed as the two held hands, before embracing again.

Lopez attended the awards show with her husband, Ben Affleck, whose movie “Air” was nominated for Best Motion Picture-Musical or Comedy. The award went to Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things.”

Larson was nominated in the category for Best Performance by an Actress in a Limited Series, Anthology Series or Motion Picture Made for Television, for her turn in “Lessons in Chemistry.” Ali Wong ultimately took home that award for her work in “Beef.”
