None of us really know how we would behave if we suddenly found ourselves face-to-face with with a real A-list Hollywood movie star.

Writer and creator of play-turned-tv show Fleabag told Stephen Colbert on The Late Show, that when she first interacted with Queen Meryl Streep herself, she was not quite as cool as she perhaps would have liked.

On the set of the movie The Iron Lady, Waller-Bridge said she got "overexcited," and made what's pretty much the dorkiest apple crumble-related joke ever.

When Streep casually asked Waller-Bridge what she was eating, the latter bellowed "*MY* APPLE CRUMBLE!"

To be fair, nobody would be able to keep their cool in front of Meryl Streep.
