Quinta Brunson Takes A Pic With A Certain Larger Than Life Personality!

Quinta Brunson's latest Instagram showcases that legends hang out with legends!

The 33-year-old actress' fame has skyrocketed since the premiere of the hit ABC comedy "Abbott Elementary." The series, which premiered in 2021, has swept the awards circuit; the show most recently won three Golden Globes!

The idea of measuring success has been on Brunson's mind since the series' popularity continuously reaches new heights. The actress posted a photo on Instagram Thursday, where she can be seen posing alongside a cultural icon! The enormity of hanging out with this iconic figure was not lost on Brunson; she did not hold back in expressing her feelings.

Before we reveal the identity of Brunson's photo mate, let's look back at some of Brunson's thoughts about "Abbott Elementary''s success!

In November, we took a look at some of Brunson's thoughts related to her certainty that "Abbott Elementary" would succeed.

Before embarking on the "Abbott Elementary" chapter of her life, Brunson had previously filmed pilots before. She was quite reserved about one pilot's progress and had strong feelings surrounding its future.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Brunson explained, "...I did a pilot once where I was like, 'Oh my God, if this goes, I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm going to hate my life. I don't want to move to Vancouver. This show isn't that special. It would've been my nightmare if that pilot had gone."

Brunson's reaction to "Abbott Elementary" was much different from the pilot she was referring to.

"...Whereas with 'Abbott,' I was like, 'If this doesn't go, I don't know what I could give the world because this is the best that I can do. I could see us winning awards. I could see us being really popular."

When the show eventually began winning major awards, Brunson was over the moon. When she heard the news of 'Abbott' being nominated for the Emmys, Brunson tweeted, "Crying, shaking and throwing up has new meaning to me because I real life did all three." The series was nominated for seven Emmys, and would go on to win three!

Brunson got a little teary when she met a certain popular culture icon! The incredibly sweet moment was captured, and she would later post it to Instagram!

On Thursday, she shared a photo set of her time spent on "Sesame Street!" Brunson didn't seem to need directions to "Sesame Street"; she was overcome with happiness when meeting Big Bird!

Brunson posted four slides, the final being a video where she can be seen talking to a crew member off-camera about how to pose with Big Bird. "I'm feel like I'm going to cry," she said, before clarifying to Big Bird she wouldn't.

Big Bird gave some of his signature encouragement when he let her know she could express however she was feeling!

She and Big Bird finally settled on a selfie where Brunson flashed a peace sign. "Speechless," she captioned her photo set.

"Love Is Blind" alumna Lauren Speed commented "A dream!"

Writer Curly Velasquez wrote, "Oprah AND Big Bird in one lifetime! Ya did it kid," he wrote, including multiple emojis.

Brunson's "Abbott Elementary" co-stars Tyler James Williams and Lisa Ann Walter were thrilled!

"Awwww you’re holding haaaaaands," Walter commented, along with heart emojis.

"That's the day 1 homie. Hell yea [fire emoji]," Williams commented.

Camilla Blackett commented, "This is it. You've done it."

Sheryl Lee Ralph also joined in on the fun by commenting three yellow heart emojis!

It's a good thing we all know who to consult if any of us ever need directions to "Sesame Street!"
