The actresses hugged each other, and Lopez revealed she was “such a huge fan” of Larson. After JLo’s confession, Brie said: “I saw Selena, and it made me want to be an actor. And you’ve always meant so much to me,” she said while wiping her tears.

“Oh my God, don’t make me cry,” Lopez responded, also wiping her tears.

Larson said meeting Lopez was “a dream” of hers. “Your work ethic is so important,” she said to Lopez. “Thank you. I’ve been wanting to say that to you for a long time so I’m really — I didn’t think it was going to be right now. OK. I’m gonna have to go do a shot of tequila or something.”

“I just did one,” Lopez joked in response.
