Cole Sprouse spotted a fan googling him – his reaction was perfect

Cole Sprouse knows you're looking at him.

The Disney Channel child star and Riverdale actor is so aware of it, he set up an Instagram account named Camera Duels. It is entirely dedicated to photographs of people trying to photograph him.

What he is slightly less accustomed to, however, is people not knowing who he is.

On Thursday 4 January he caught a 19-year-old college student googling his name in an ice cream shop in Hawaii after bumping into him.

He decided to share it on his Instagram story:

The person in question, Janani Krishnan-Jha, told BuzzFeed News:

I almost told him he looked a lot like Cole Sprouse, but then I realised that it might actually be him. Because I wasn't 100 per cent sure yet.

She said that his reaction was extremely funny and that he was happy to take a selfie.

He told her that he'd seen her googling him and the two laughed about it.

People online loved the reaction:

The wonders of social media.
