Watt made waves earlier this week when he shared a photograph of him and celebrity crush Jennifer Aniston to Twitter.

His caption said: 'I'm not even going to try to pretend like I acted cool when this happened. #LifeMade.'

Watt met the Friends star on Monday in Los Angeles, where they are represented by the same talent agency.

He was there speaking to the agency's employees and was asked if there was anything they could do for him.

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.
