Serena Williams humorously admits having similar feelings when meeting other celebrities

It’s a little surprising to us that arguably one of the biggest names in women’s tennis – if not women’s athletics as a whole – feels the same way we do when we meet a celebrity. You have to imagine Serena Williams interacting with other celebrities on a regular basis. Still, according to the tennis icon, she gets nervous in front of other stars just like the rest of us.

In Williams’ various red carpet appearances, we don’t see any anxiety on her part. Instead, we have the pro herself to thank for her hilarious knowledge of how to behave in front of big names. She humorously admitted her nerves in a TikTok posted over the weekend. “Remember that time I told you I wasn’t good at meeting celebrities?” she started playing the clip.

“You know, I hate to mention names, but I met Iron Man,” she explained. “I was literally shaking. I was like, ‘Oh my God, this is Tony Stark. Wow.’ I did a great job. “I know I messed up a lot of things, and I said some crazy things that were out of place. speech. “

Although she didn’t say anything random this time, she wasn’t completely calm either. “I did a good job, but that’s what I did,” she said, humorously showing off a huge smile on her face.

“Selena, when are you going to stop acting like a psycho superfan?” she asked herself at the end of the video.

Here’s the thing: This is exactly how we would act if we met Williams (or Tony Stark, aka Robert Downey Jr.), so we think his behavior is completely excusable.
