So much for lying low, movie star.

A woman noticed a sunglass-wearing Ben Stiller riding in the same New York City subway car and gave him the full fan treatment.

A video (watch it below) posted by the Subway Creatures account on Wednesday showed the unidentified commuter adorably freaking out at the comic actor’s presence. The “Zoolander” star shook her hand as she recognized him, then she excitedly spoke in Spanish and English. “I love you so much,” she said.

But the best part was her attempt to fix her hair as she stomped her feet at her good fortune.

Stiller was a good sport, posing for selfies and videos with her and other passengers.

He just made this straphanger’s day.
