A woman has gone viral after she asked her followers to help her identify the mystery celebrity she was sharing her flight with,
Paige Craig, an influencer from Orlando, Florida, was on a flight to Los Angeles, California, last week after she spotted people snagging photos with a bloke on her flight.
But she didn’t recognise him and took to social media to ask people if they know who the famous person was.

However, the video rapidly gained millions of views and thousands of comments from people identifying the celeb as Mexican actor and director Eugenio González Derbez — prompting him to respond himself.

In the initial video, which gained more than 2.5million likes, Paige filmed herself and wrote: “Can someone tell me who this man is because people keep taking pics with him and I’m too scared to ask him who he is.”
She then turned the camera around to show a man with brown hair and glasses sitting in the seat next to hers.
Providing her followers with more information, she added in the caption: “Other information – he speaks Spanish and is a very nice man. Thank you for your service.”

However, people were left stunned that she didn’t recognise Drebez, who is known for starring in the movies Jack and Jill (alongside Adam Sandler), Girl In Progress (which also starred Eva Mendes, Matthew Modine, and Patricia Arquette) and Miracles From Heaven (opposite Jennifer Garner).
His other acting credits include How to Be a Latin Lover (alongside Salma Hayek, Rob Lowe, and Kristen Bell), Overboard (opposite Anna Faris), the Academy Award-winning Apple TV+ movie CODA, the comedy Dora and the Lost City of Gold, and most recently, the rom-com The Valet.

He’s also lent his voice to numerous animated films like The Secret Life of Pet and The Angry Birds Movie 2, and provided dubs for characters in the Spanish version of well-known American movies including Dr. Dolittle, Mulan, 102 Dalmatians, and Shrek.
Fans repeatedly tagged his official TikTok account in the comments – making Paige beg them to stop out of fear he’d see.
