Natalie Portman's viral meeting with Rihanna at Paris Fashion Week in January was as big a deal for her as it was for us, it seems.
Portman appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon this week, and the host asked about the sweet moment which was captured on camera and widely shared at the time.
"It was an amazing experience for me," the actress told him. "I think every woman going through a divorce should get to have Rihanna say to her that she's a bad bitch. It was exactly what I needed."
After Fallon played the video of the two women interacting, Portman told him, "It was a formative moment in my life."
They greeted each other with a massive hug despite having never met in person before, and Portman told RiRi ceremoniously, "I. Love you."
The singer then told her new friend that she's a huge fan of hers, to which Portman said, "Are you kidding me?"
Rihanna then bestowed an honor for the ages on Portman, telling her, "You are one of the hottest bitches in Hollywood forever." Both were clearly starstruck by the interaction.
