"It was very, very unexpected," said Elfriede Wolf, who explained she goes to TIFF with her daughter, Brigitte Aston, who works at Sheridan College in Oakville almost every year, but it's not often they see movie stars. Clooney was in Toronto last weekend for the screening of his film Surburbicon on Sept. 9. Wolf said her daughter has been a longtime Clooney admirer so they were waiting in the crowd for a glimpse of him. A kind stranger made space for Wolf to squeeze into the front of the crowd. After waiting for about an hour, Wolf said a car pulled up and Clooney got out and started walking toward them. Before she knew it, Wolf said Clooney walked toward her and she said: "My daughter loves you." He said: "Oh my God" and squeezed Wolf's hand. "I was in semi-shock," Wolf added. And before she knew it, she had grabbed Clooney's chin. "I didn't even wash my hair," Wolf said afterward, adding that she seldom goes out of the house without washing her hair. Wolf says she can't really describe what Elfriede Wolf of Bronte holds a framed photo of her grabbing movie star George Clooney's chin at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) earlier this month. | Nikki Wesley/Metroland was going through her mind at the time. Although she did notice Clooney was a very attractive man with a very nice personality. Toronto media outlets began searching for the identity of the mystery woman, who encountered Clooney by posing a question on the internet -- "Is this your Nona with George? Help us find the granny who caressed Clooney's chin." The photo went viral, and was published by People magazine, Hello, BBC, and Global News -- to name only a few. Wolf said her 19-year-old grandson, who is in his second year at Queen's University in Kingston, recognized his grandmother as the mysterious Nona. Wolf said all the attention she's received since the photo went viral is "a little overwhelming". She went to TIFF because her daughter was such a longtime fan of Clooney -- and wanted her to meet him -- but things turned out otherwise.
