Starstruck: Houston Texas player J.J. Watt met his celebrity crush Jennifer Aniston for the first time Monday

Watt didn't hesitate, bringing up his self-described lifelong goal of meeting the 46-year-old actress, whom he's mentioned frequently on his social media. At first, the 26-year-old defensive end thought it was going to happen over dinner this week. Instead, she happened to be in the building that day and they were brought together.

'It was incredible,' Watt told The Associated Press on Tuesday night. 'She was very sweet. Her initials are J.J. too, so it was really cool.'

Watt's name is Justin James. Aniston's is Jennifer Joanna.

Watt posted a photo with his arm around Aniston on his Twitter account with the caption, 'I'm not even going to try to pretend like I acted cool when this happened.' He was still enjoying the encounter a day later.
