If you were to meet your favorite celeb, chances are high that you'd be at a loss of words.
You would barely muster out a "hello," much less ask them out to drinks on Friday night.
But what if you asked out a celebrity without knowing they were a celebrity? It would certainly make things easier, wouldn't it?
Well, that exact scenario happened to a TikTok user and we've got the video to prove it!
Unless you've been living under a rock, you'd know that she's a singer, actress, and former Disney star of the High School Musical series.
Proof of this popped up recently when a guy on TikTok went viral for not recognizing the star two years ago.
It was his friend, Carlos Julio Morillo, who posted the video on his own account last week and narrated it, too.
"Afterwards, they hopped on the train and started talking. He thought they hit it off."
All true, BTW!
She made her Broadway debut in the lead role of a stage version of the 1944 novella Gigi by Colette in 2015.
Anyways, what matters is that Manuel had no clue that he was talking to Vanessa Hudgens of, you know, High School Musicial fame.
"He started flirting right away, but she mentioned that she had a boyfriend."
The longtime pair split at the beginning of 2020 after nine years together.
This was reportedly due to long-distance and scheduling conflicts.
He was talking to Vanessa Hudgens!
Mind. Blown!
"IMAGINE HAVING A DAY WITH VANESSA AND FLIRTING WITH HER WITHOUT KNOWING OML," one wrote on the app.
This led Vanessa to post a reaction video to it on TikTok.
In it, she pointed at herself when Carlos talked about it really being her.
"Most people can't believe he didn't recognize her," Carlos told BuzzFeed.
For one, she's not the first celeb to ride the subway. Keanu Reeves does it all the time!
It just shows how down-to-earth and humble some of them are.
She wouldn't be the first to do so, as Jimmy Fallon has a segment for his late-night TV show about busking with celebs undercover.
"Even though the video might sound like the opposite, don't put celebrities on a pedestal. At the end of the day, we're all just people," Carlos said.
Amen, brother!
