Melissa McCarthy may be an award-winning celebrity in her own right, but even she was apparently awestruck by the U.S. womens national soccer team.

The actress confessed that she weirdly geeked out and got really nervous while meeting the Womens World Cup champions at a screening of her latest movie in Los Angeles.

I kind of got like clammy and weird, McCarthy told The Associated Press during a red carpet interview on Monday.

But the soccer stars turned out to be so nice and really cool, McCarthy said.

In a photo McCarthy posted to Instagram, athletes Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe, Ashlyn Harris and Crystal Dunn posed with the actress and her The Kitchen co-stars Tiffany Haddish and Elisabeth Moss.
