Do popular athletes or celebrities become “star struck” when meeting someone else who is famous?
When two superfans meet each other:
This incident happened at a post-Wimbledon reception. This was the first time tennis champ Andy Murray met his favorite actor Benedict Cumberbatch.
“I’m a massive fan,” Andy Murray started off after shaking Benedict Cumberbatch’s hand along with that of the actor’s wife, Sophie Hunter.
“Well, likewise, likewise,” Cumberbatch rejoins. He added that it was “really inspiring to watch” Murray play.
Also, Murray being a huge fan of Cumberbatch’s TV show Sherlock, even pumped his fist when Cumberbatch mentioned that he’s currently working on filming new episodes .

Cumberbatch then played his trump card, asking about Murray’s infant daughter and proved himself also to be a fan of the tennis player in the process. Murray said his five-month-old had started sleeping through the night.
“That’s great, that’s great,” said Cumberbatch. “This is just an amazing moment.”, he concluded.
