Sometimes you go out in public, and see a familiar face. At first, you think it's somebody from college. Then you think it's somebody you met at a party. Then it dawns on you - it's a celebrity! Let's say, for example, it's Jaleel White, aka Steve Urkel from Family Matters. But you're not a hundred percent sure that familiar-looking guy is Jaleel White. After all, it's been years since you've seen the actor on TV, and we all know celebrities look different in real life. How can you be sure?
You could just walk up to the man and ask, but if you're wrong, that would be embarrassing. There's only option: ask the almighty Google. You pull out your phone, and punch in the name. Yes! It's him! Now you can walk up to him, and ask him to say "Did I do that?" with confidence. Congratulations! Man, can you imagine how humiliating it would have been if he caught you googling his name?
Well, that's exactly what happened to a teenager in Hawaii, who spotted her own favorite sitcom actor from childhood.

19-year-old Janani Krishnan-Jha was at an ice cream shop in Hawaii, and noticed a familiar face: Cole Sprouse, who starred in The Disney Channel sitcom The Secret Life Of Zack & Cody with his twin brother, Dylan. Some child stars grow jaded as they grow older, but Cole has a pretty good sense of humor. His Instagram handle is "Camera Duels," and he often shares pictures of fans trying to take photos of him. So, when Janani recognized him, he recognized that she recognized him, and if you think he was just going to let that go, you better recognize.
Janani wasn't totally sure Cole Sprouse was Cole Spouse, so she decided to google Cole Sprouse. And she was so focused on this task, she didn't notice Cole sneak up to her and take a picture of her not-so-secret investigation. Busted! Cole shared the picture on his Instagram story, followed by a selfie of his reaction to the awkward situation. Cody Martin is not impressed.

Fans were delighted with the hilarious interaction, and so was Janini. In an interview, she explained how it all went down:
"I was waiting in line when I turned around and saw someone who looked eerily like Cole Sprouse.
I decided to turn around and google the name quickly. (I actually googled Dylan Sprouse first, so I hope he didn't see that). I had no idea that he was looking, and thought the phone was sufficiently hidden, but I guess I didn't do a good enough job because when I turned to ask for a selfie, he smiled and told me he'd seen me google him. I told him I was embarrassed, and we laughed and took a selfie!"
She concludes, "I thought his reaction was extremely funny. I'm glad there were no hard feelings, and that I got to meet a childhood hero of mine!" We're glad you were able to meet him too, Janani. I mean, Cole Sprouse is no Steve Urkel, but still, it's pretty cool.
