George Clooney knows a thing or two about making a woman feel special, so naturally, the Ocean’s Eleven star pulled out all the stops for a fan’s 87th birthday.

The 55-year-old actor surprised Pat Adams at the Sunrise of Sonning home, which offers nursing, dementia care, and assisted living in Berkshire, England. The care home’s concierge, Linda Jones, posted this photo on Facebook of Clooney posing with the birthday girl. “A dream came true for one of our residents today,” Jones wrote.

Apparently, the staff of the facility had written to Clooney to see if the actor could honor Pat’s birthday wish.

“The lady in the picture, loves George Clooney and mentions everyday how she would love to meet him, especially as he lives so near to where I work,” Jones explained. So a letter was sent asking Clooney if he could drop by, given that her birthday was imminent.

Being George Clooney, the Oscar winner showed up with a birthday card and “a lovely bunch of flowers,” holding up one of the letters the staff had written to him as he rang the doorbell asking for Pat. They were not aware he was coming and said they were in “utter shock” when he arrived.

“This was a classy gesture from a wonderful man,” a Sunrise spokesman told the BBC. “She was absolutely thrilled to meet her great icon, and it was such a lovely surprise to see George greet her with flowers and a card.”

The Sunrise of Sonning senior living center tweeted, “Thanks #GeorgeClooney for visiting #SunriseofSonning and for making Pat, our wonderful resident, so so happy!”

Clooney and his wife, Amal, bought a home in Sonning, a village in Berkshire, in October 2014. The couple will become parents for the first time this year, since Amal is pregnant with twins. We have a feeling George is keeping his wife pampered with flowers at home as well.
