Cher took a picture of a young couple at a movie theatre because she thought they were “beautiful”, but they didn’t realise it was her.
The iconic singer and actress took to Twitter to share the picture she snapped of the couple with her 3.9 million followers.
She wrote that when she was coming out of a movie, she spotted the couple. The man was taking a picture of the woman, who was holding a bouquet of flowers, so Cher asked if they would like one together.
“Had my mask on so they didn’t Know Who I was. MAYBE Just a crazy woman..THAT ME [sic],” she wrote.
When we were coming out of movie I saw beautiful

Her partner Tehran also replied to say: “Wow! So we really did meet CHER! This night will certainly be remembered forever.”
Syndie quipped back: “If only we could ‘turn back time’.”

When asked why she didn’t recognise Cher’s voice, Syndie said that she had her mask on and was far away from them when she asked to take the snap.
Poking fun at people who complained that the couple didn’t recognise Cher right away, one Twitter user remarked: “She didn’t go hooooohooo curn ahe take yur pictuure whoahhhh?”

That’s why I adore you Cher!!! You are so real! So sensitive and compassionate. Thoughtful of others. You love animals and you are a Humanitarian. You are a really good person with a giant heart!!! Thank you for your kindness.

I think she got something better. Look how absolutely stunning they look and now that picture has a special story attached to it. That my friend is the blessing of a memory only two people share. Well three if you count Cher!

Played golf with a man who had just married in Vegas.
His bachelor party ran into her in the hotel elevator and she posed for a bunch of funny, flirty pictures with the guys.
She was super cool, and surprised them with flower arrangement delivered to the wedding!
I just posted below that I met her when I was 13. I was helping my mom who worked at Taft High School where the shot the movie Mask. She was so sweet to me. I love hearing Cher stories!
