She apparently utilised her experience as a model to always”look[…] at the camera at the right time“, she told People, smouldering in the background of shots with Idris Elba, Nicole Kidman, Heidi Klum and Richard Madden. “There’s tons of photographers everywhere. It doesn’t matter where you stand, you’re in the crossfire of every shot. You’ve gotta have good face, at least, if you’re gonna be hovering in the background frequently.

She said that her fave photobomb was one with Jim Carrey. “I loved the Jim Carrey one. I love his work. I grew up watching his movies and thought it was a funny thing to find myself in the background of.

But still, she spent the night, serving Fiji Water, blissfully unaware of her new fame, with over 50K tweets about her in just a few hours, and her Instagram follower count rising and rising – it stands at 197K atm.

I had absolutely no idea what was happening because I obviously didn’t have my phone on me.

I felt very cut off from everything. I didn’t find out until the last stragglers of the red carpet were heading into the awards ceremony, and all these people walking by started shoving their phones in my face and showing me that I was trending on Twitter, but I didn’t understand the magnitude of it till later.

The magnitude of her actions being: girl is suddenly in demand!!! She told Time:

Just a couple days ago, I was walking my dog with no make-up and sweatpants on – maybe even had my pyjamas on. Life has changed very dramatically.

I just have to sift through everything and figure out what offers are good, but I definitely would love to do more acting, more modelling, and just to be really busy – really productive.

You know what, it was a ballsy move, and we appreciate it. Good for you, Cuthbert. Take all the fame you can get outta this.
