'Total Fangirl!': Jamie Campbell Bower Melts Down When Meeting Beloved Cosplayer

Even celebrities can be shy in front of their idols, as self-proclaimed "total fangirl" Jamie Campbell Bower experienced on March 25, when he met a cosplayer at the Armageddon Expo in Tauranga, New Zealand. The heart-warming moment was recorded by Jade Wang, of https://www.tiktok.com/@spookersnz Spookers Haunted Attractions , and shows the English actor hugging Whisper, who performs as a https://www.tiktok.com/@spookersnz/video/7195464618779626753 "comfort creature" at Spookers. In the video, a rather flustered Bower asks the cosplayer, who gives their name as Ryan, to perform their signature tongue-clicking sound before saying, "I love you so much!" and later adding, "I'm sorry, I just had a meltdown." Wang told Storyful that Bower "LEAPED out from behind the signing desk" when he recognized Whisper, having seen all of their videos on social media. She said that no one knew Bower would react this way, as the two had never been previously introduced. "It was such an heartwarming and wholesome moment between them," Wang said. Another https://www.tiktok.com/@spookersnz/video/7215507383659859201 published later that day shows Whisper handing the Stranger Things actor a piece of cardboard bearing their signature.
