A star-struck young fan got to meet Shia LaBeouf on live television.

The actor star appeared on America’s The Today Show to discuss his latest flick, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

Before the segment, a young woman called Samantha, who was waiting outside the New York show with her pals, asked if she could get to meet the screen hunk.

And her dream came true when she was invited on set to meet the 23-year-old star.

He said: “I like Samantha a lot. She seems like a real special person. I would love to meet her.”

She then brought Shia a cup of coffee, after his interview with host Meredith Vieira came to an end.

Her voice cracking, Samantha, 20, said in front of an audience of millions: “Oh my God, this is amazing. I can’t believe this, I’m in shock.”

After he praised her outfit, she said she had bought it especially for the occasion, and she said: “I’ve been planning this all week.”

She added: “I don’t know what to ask.

“What kind of girl are you interested in, like, honestly?”

He replied: “All kinds, I don’t have a specific [type].”

Giggling, she asked: “Do you have a girlfriend?”

He said: “I don’t, no. What are you doing the rest of the day? My day is boring.”

She said: “I want to spend it with you. I’m with my four friends.”

He laughed: “Four friends?!”

She then asked him to say ‘hi’ to her pals by reading their names out on air.

Shia then joked to presenter Meredith Vieira: “Thanks for this love connection.”
