BUZZ BEAT MEDIA

In the Philippines, ordinary fans are thrilled when they see local celebrities in person. But what if a local celebrity becomes a fan of a famous and high-profile international celebrity, such as when they see Angelina Jolie? That’s what TV personality-host Tim Yap experienced when he met the actress.

The Filipino celebrity posted about his short meeting with Jolie on Instagram, which happened while he was watching the Outsiders Musical at the Bernard Jacobs Theatre on Broadway. According to Tim, he tried to stay calm and composed even though he was meeting a big star.

“Need a moment to digest,” Tim said, hiding his excitement.

He recounted his meeting, maintaining a composed exterior as he greeted the Hollywood star.

“Oh hi there Miss Jolie! Congratulations on producing the show!”

“Inside: hand fanning moment + palpitation.”

“IT’S ANGELINA JOLIE!!!” he added.

The musical is based on S. E. Hinton’s novel and the film directed by Francis Ford Coppola with the same title, exploring the lives of underprivileged teenagers whose best chance for survival and acceptance is through their tight-knit community. Jolie was one of the producers of the musical.
