Richard E. Grant's fan letter to Barbra Streisand gets lovely reply 47 years after he sent it

You might not know this, but even massive celebrities have major fangirl moments. 

Take Richard E. Grant, for instance, who tweeted a letter he'd penned at age 14 to his idol, Barbra Streisand, alongside a picture of himself posing outside her house.

What followed was the most delightfully pure exchange between Streisand and "lifelong fan" Grant, who's now 61 years old.  

As a lifelong fan of someone you’ll understand what it meant for me to take this snap outside the home of @BarbraStreisand Asked Security for permission & he replied ‘It’s a public road, but thanks for asking’ Wrote her this letter when I was 14. My wife is very understanding! pic.twitter.com/3SohXKpgZT
