Brie Larson burst into tears when she met Jennifer Lopez for the first time at the 2024 Golden Globes.
During a red carpet interview with Entertainment Tonight's Kevin Frazier on Jan. 7, Larson noticed Lopez walking toward her at the star-studded event and she changed her mind. Gotta be emotional.
"Oh my God! I can't deal with JLo," Larson told host Frasier, who was just as excited as the actor, joking: "We all are. "
"No, I can't. I'm going to cry," Larson continued, before telling Lopez "you mean a lot to me" as they exchanged hugs.
"This is a dream of mine"
Larson cited Selena 1997 as an inspiration early in her career, telling Lopez, "It made me want to be an actress, and you've always meant a lot to me."
"This is a dream of mine," she continued. "Thank you so much. Your work ethic is so important."
Lopez, visibly emotional, then responded, "Oh my God, don't make me cry," and the two wiped away tears and hugged again.
"How sweet is that?" Lopez said of the heartwarming exchange. "It's amazing that you - she mentioned the movie Selena - it still touches people after all these years. That's very touching to me, too."
“What a sweet moment”
Fans were clearly moved by the emotional exchange, with one YouTube user describing it as "a sweet moment" for Larson's fans.
“It’s nice to see artists being inspired and appreciating each other,” another fan wrote. “Academy Award winner Brie Larson recognized someone who hasn’t won an acting award yet, but she Win her over with her work ethic forever.”
"What a beautiful moment. How many of us get the chance to meet someone we admire from afar?" added another.
Lopez attended the ceremony with husband Ben Affleck, whose 2023 film "Air" is nominated for best picture.
Larson, meanwhile, is nominated for her role as Elizabeth Zotte in the Apple TV+ series Chemistry .
