The cast of supernatural horror flick “It” was starstruck to meet Emma Watson, despite experiencing a case of mistaken identity.

In a People interview, Chosen Jacobs shared the time when they took a photo with the British actress at the MTV Movie & TV Awards in May 2017.

“When we were sitting at the table we were fanboy- and [fan]girling a little bit,” said the 15-year-old actor.

Good save, Emma.

Surely she’ll recognize them soon: on its United States opening weekend, the horror film made a killing with $117.2 million, the biggest box office opening for September, according to Time.

The film is based on the Stephen King novel about seven children terrorized by a being named “It”. Niña V. Guno/JB
