In an interview a few months ago, when asked to name her favorite actor, Billie Eilish had two choices: Steve Carell and Jake Johnson. She’d had the chance to speak with Carell before (as well as other favorites from The Office ). She’d met the New Girl star as well, but before she did, she was so starstruck, she was in tears.
Eilish revealed this during a recent interview explaining:
“Last year, I was flying somewhere, and when we got to the airport, Jake Johnson got out of another car. My dad was there and he was like, ‘Billie, you have to get out of the car,’ and I was like, ‘I can’t, Jake Johnson is there.’ And I started crying and crying, and my dad was like, ‘Who is that?’ And I said, ‘It’s Jake Johnson, the best actor in the world.’
I walked into the airport and just cried, and I called some of my friends and said, ‘Jake Johnson is in the same airport as me!’ My dad was begging me to go and talk to him and I refused […] And this was last December, so not even that long ago! Eventually, I had to walk past him as he was in the same room and he called my name and said hello […] And it was an amazing day!”
