LOS ANGELES, May 24 (UPI) — Pink became quite flustered Monday when she was surprised by her celebrity crush Johnny Depp while appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.

The pop star who worked on a new single entitled “Just Like Fire” for Depp’s latest film, Alice Through the Looking Glass, was explaining to host Kimmel how she can’t take meeting her crushes before the actor appeared on the scene.

“Him [Depp] and Michael Keaton,” she admitted. “I can’t do it. Beetlejuice just gets me every time.”

After explaining how she once hid underneath a table to avoid Keaton, Pink, real name Alecia Beth Moore, shared a story of how her husband Carey Hart once forced her to confront Depp inside a record store. “I didn’t want to meet him. My husband made me meet him, which was so dumb,” she said. “I was hiding behind records in a record store and I was like, ‘Don’t do this. I don’t want to meet him.”

After describing the two stars’ awkward conversation in which Depp mistook Pink’s mention of Alice Through the Looking Glass as her saying she met rock star Alice Cooper, the singer declared “I don’t think it went well. I don’t feel like I nailed it.”

Shortly after, Depp walked across the late night stage to the roar of the audience. Completely shocked and a little embarrassed, Pink nervously embraced her crush who also gave Kimmel a kiss on the lips.

“You just turned the color of your hair,” Kimmel joked. “This is the worst day ever,” she said.

Alice Through the Looking Glass opens in theaters May 27.
