What would you do if Meryl Streep came up behind you unexpectedly while you were taking a photo? You'd probably freak out, right? Well, you definitely would if you consider yourself a big fan, and that's exactly what happened when Meryl Streep photobombed Gina Rodriguez during the 2017 SAG Awards.
While posing for the cameras, the Jane the Virgin star had no idea Streep was behind her also striking some amazing poses. Eventually, Rodriguez realized what was happening and reacted appropriately. Alongside a photo of The CW actor reacting to Streep standing so close to her, she tweeted Sunday, "I'm chill right? Like, this is chill, right?"
Really, would anyone be chill in this moment? Chill is not something that's possible when the 20-time Oscar nominated actor is in your presence. It's Meryl Streep, people. Rodriguez is basically emulating most every fan of hers.
Rodriguez didn't stop there, as on Monday she tweeted an image of the photobomb happening and wrote beside it, "Woke up to an email with this gem in it. Yup. Yup, yup, yup. I swear she felt like a magical breeze behind me."
A "magical breeze" is the only way Streep should be described from this moment forward. Rather than introducing her as, "Oscar-winner Meryl Streep," we should all say, "The magical breeze that is Meryl Streep."
Because she understandably couldn't stop talking about the memorable moment, Rodriguez also took to Instagram Monday to post about it again. Next to Streep's photobomb (by the way, this is another thing she's extremely good at), the 32-year-old perfectly wrote, "This was about 3 seconds before I lost my sh*t. Meryl, thanks for the photobomb. My sh*t is now officially lost."
Allow me to repeat that Rodriguez's "sh*t" is lost and nowhere to be found. When you meet Streep and she also photobombs you at that same moment, you react like Rodriguez. There is no other way.
So, where do they go from here? Streep and Rodriguez should most definitely team up for a movie. Can you imagine that greatness? If it ever happens, I will have zero chill and absolutely lose my "sh*t" just like the JTV lead.
