Washington, Jan 15 : Indian actress Freida Pinto was left red-faced after she met her idol actress Angelina Jolie, as her mouth was full of pastry at the time.

The `Slumdog Millionaire' star was surprised to see Jolie at a luncheon in Los Angeles, but as she did not have the nerve to talk to her, she made her way to the buffet instead.

She was so engrossed in food that she never noticed the `Tomb Raider' star making her way towards her.

"Talk about bad timing; I stuffed my face with a pastry and Angelina comes walking up to me and says, `Good job'," Contactmusic quoted her as exclaiming.

Pinto had no other choice but to acknowledge Jolie with her mouthful of food.

She, however, was lucky that she got one more chance to speak properly to the actress just before the Golden Globes. (ANI)
