It's the moment we all dread - being singled out in the airport customs queue.

Miles Teller, 28, revealed to Seth Meyers on Monday night that he was nervous after getting a tap on the shoulder from a customs agent as he waited in a long line after flying internationally.

However, the Fantastic Four actor explained to the Late Night host that - much to his relief - the worker had recognised him from the Marvel Comics film and helped him to skip the queue.

'I was like - what's in my backback?,' he relived to the chat show host, 'and he brings me over to a kiosk and opens it up for me,

'He says, "come on, do you really think Mr Fantastic has to wait in line?"'

The actor added: 'Then he said something cooler, he said: "Welcome to the Marvel Universe", I was like - is this guy Dr Storm?'

The Divergent star then added: 'I'm gonna need this at the DMV...'

He plays Reed Richards in the origins story, alongside Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Bell. 

Wearing a open necked white shirt and jacket, the actor added that skipping airport lines isn't the only perk of the job.

He's also impressed his own father - who - he told Seth - was a big fan of the Fantastic Four comics books growing up. 

Based on the Marvel Comics series, Fantastic 4 follows the exploits of the group after they are transported to a strange universe and return with altered bodies and super powers.

The group must then use their abilities to save the Earth from a new enemy - someone they once considered to be a friend.

Fantastic 4 will be released in North America on Friday.
