Angelina Jolie has met her match.

During one of the premieres of Jolie's "Maleficent" movie, Shokra (whose real name is Russell Barslou) has capture the attention of Jolie and the world when he came wearing an elaborate Maleficent costume of his own.

Disney executives actually invited him after seeing his club performance as the evil fairy queen in the party the "Night of 1,000 Maleficents". Jolie saw his pictures and liked it so much that she wanted him to come to the premiere.

Shokra shared his thoughts about seeing his idol:

"She was unbelievable. The first time she saw me, her face just sort of lit up and she smiled at me. And then she went to do her interview with Entertainment Tonight. When she was done she made a beeline right to me. And she told me that she thought I looked great, but all I could do was say how great that I thought she looked. I was overwhelmed because I wasn't used to the paparazzi and situations like that. She was just so professional. It also said a lot to me about her that she wanted to make sure that I got a great pic of us together with my phone. She knew exactly where to look to make sure I got a picture that I'd love."

As for the film?

"The movie is just beautiful," he adds. "I'm just such a huge fan of hers. Like I said, I'm all about horns and wings, so I knew that I was going to love it."
