James Malcolm posed with the star but was not ready for the internet's amazing response...
A young comedian from New Zealand had his selfie go viral after he posed with a rockstar despite having no idea who he was.
James Malcolm, the self-proclaimed "wannabe gay icon" and "Taylor Swift of New Zealand Comedy" according to his Twitter bio, was waiting to board a flight when he noticed one of his fellow passengers getting a lot of attention around him.
Does anyone know who this is? People keep asking him to sign their t shirt pic.twitter.com/Md4fU1uKZD

Subtly done James, nice job!
Oh, and that's Nick Cave btw, the legendary rock performer and frontman of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.
Wiffle Gif
He even had a duet with Kylie once. It was a very big deal at the time.
But, unable to find an immediate answer on social media, James just decided to hedge his bets and get a photo in case he regretted it later.
Can someone please tell me who this celeb is? Everyone was asking him for pics and I didn't wanna feel left out pic.twitter.com/s67vF5rZKZ

And that's when the fun started...
Because while James was up in the air, his photo spread around the internet with increasingly hilarious responses to his question.
Here's just a few of our faves:

Fantastic work all around.
James was obviously a bit shocked when he got off the flight but he seems to be taking it well.
@DieJamesMalcolm put my phone on airplane mode when this had 7 likes then got off the plane and it's gone bloody mental
