Hiding From The Paparazzi
She was no stranger to having people follow her around, hounding her for photos. This is one of the reasons the photo went viral in no time at all!

But how did this mystery woman ask him for a photo? It turns out that she had been very polite when he asked him, which worked in her favor.
