Huge Arsenal fan Anne Hathaway could not hide her delight after being surprised by one of her sporting heroes during an appearance on US television.

The American Oscar-winning actress, 41, was appearing on NBC’s Today to promote latest film The Idea Of You alongside British co-star Nicholas Galitzine when the unexpected happened.

Leandro Troussard delivered a special message to the shocked star in a pre-recorded message.

"Hey Anne, I really loved your celebration the other day for my goal," the footballer said. "Keep supporting us and hopefully see you soon at the Emirates."

Holding her hands up to her face, Hathaway responded: "are you kidding me?!" before admitting: “I’m Shaking”.

Galitzine, 29, who is also a Gooner, was equally impressed, saying he felt 'star-struck' by the short video.

After the win over the Blues, footage emerged on social media of Hathaway and Galitzine celebrating the team’s victory while conducting a media interview.

Trossard’s message appeared to relate to last Tuesday's 5-0 win over Chelsea, where he scored the opening goal.

Following the Belgian forward's goal, Hathaway jumped up and shouted "oh I love you!" while excitedly fist-pumping the air.

Explaining her reaction, she said: "Sorry, we are both fans of the same team and there is a match going on right now. It's English Premier League soccer... yes... we don't want to take up too much of your time."
