You might not know this, but even massive celebrities have major fangirl moments.
Take Richard E. Grant, for instance, who tweeted a letter he'd penned at age 14 to his idol, Barbra Streisand, alongside a picture of himself posing outside her house.

If you look at the letter closely, you'll see that 14-year-old Grant was very concerned for Streisand's wellbeing and offered her a break at his family home in Swaziland, south-east Africa.
After stating that he and his family were "very big fans" after seeing Streisand in Funny Girl, he said that he had been following her career "avidly" and owned all her records.
"I am fourteen years old I read in the paper that you were feeling very tired and pressurized by your fame and failed romance with Mr Ryan O'Neal," wrote Grant. "I would like to offer you a two-week holiday, or longer, at our house, which is very beautiful with a pool and a magnificent view of the Ezulwini Valley. Which the Swazi people call Valley of Heaven. I think you will agree when you see it."
He explained that because the local cinema only shows films for three days at a time, there'd be little chance of her being "mobbed in the street."
"Here you can rest," wrote Grant. "No one will trouble you and I assure you you will not be mobbed in the street as your films only show in our one cinema for three days, so not that many people will know who you are, so no chance of being mobbed. Please consider this respite seriously. You will always be welcome."
Though Streisand didn't take up Grant's very sweet offer at the time, his tweet got a lovely reply from Streisand 47 years later.

It didn't end there, though. Grant wasn't lying when he said how much Streisand's reply meant to him.

He posted a photo that his friend took of him as his daughter read out Streisand's reply to his letter.
We're not crying, we just have something in our eye.
