What would you do if you could meet Mary Poppins?

Mary Poppins Meet-and-Greet

Sure, we know, you’ve probably already met Mary Poppins in Disney World or you’ve seen her riding on the carousel in Disneyland. But what if you could talk to the REAL, original Mary Poppins, aka Julie Andrews, who starred in the Disney movie Mary Poppins? Would you lose your mind? Because that’s what happened to one celebrity when she got a surprise call from the Disney Legend herself.

Jennifer Garner, star of Alias, 13 Going on 30, Daredevil, and our hearts, is a huge Julie Andrews fan. Journalist (and celebrity in her own right) Katie Couric remembered this, so she arranged to have Andrews surprise Garner with a special phone call on her birthday. The result? Well, let’s just say we are now convinced that Jennifer Garner is all of us judging from her reaction.

Happy birthday to a ray of sunshine, @Jen Garner! ☀️🥰 I think we can all agree that Julie Andrews is the best birthday present! 💝 #happybirthday #birthday #birthdaysurprise #surprise #jennifergarner #jengarner #katiecouric #katiecouricmedia #julieandrews #thesoundofmusic #fangirl #fangirlmoment #fangirls #fangirling #phonecall #birthdaypresent #present #marypoppins #childrensbook #childrensbooks

Although Garner does mention The Sound of Music, she ends up asking Andrews about the children’s books she’s written, especially about The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles. Yes, believe it or not, Andrews is also an acclaimed children’s author, too. It just goes to show that Mary Poppins really CAN do everything.

Of course, we’re also VERY familiar with Andrews as the Queen of Genovia in Princess Diaries and Princess Diaries 2. Back in 2022, we learned that a third film was in the works, but later that year, Andrews had doubts that she would be a part of it if the film did happen. We haven’t heard anything about that sequel since, though, so we’re not sure what’s going on with it.

The video just goes to show that celebrities, especially Jennifer Garner, are just like us. We’d probably behave the same way if we ever had the opportunity to speak to an icon like Julie Andrews.
