Teenage actress Dakota Fanning once "lost it" during a chance meeting with Britney Spears - because she had idolised the singer for so many years.

The 14-year-old was a big fan of the pop superstar throughout her childhood and once got the chance to see Spears in the flesh, when they accidentally met in a Los Angeles store.

I remember when I was very little my idol was Britney Spears. I had just come to California and that's just who I wanted to meet.Fanning

And Fanning admits she was overwhelmed by the experience.

She tells Parade magazine, "I remember when I was very little my idol was Britney Spears. I had just come to California and that's just who I wanted to meet.

So I was in a store and she walked in and my jaw just fell to the floor. I started like sweating.

"I could not believe that I was meeting her. She told me that I was very cute. And I lost it - I was so excited."
