John Legend falls victim to Fiji Water Girl days after Golden Globes (2024)

The Fiji water girl made a splash at the Golden Globes this weekend.

And it looked like the viral sensation struck again on Thursday, all while John Legend was out on a simple grocery run at Bristol Farms in Beverly Hills.

As the All Of Me singer, 40, headed home from fetching food, a cardboard cut-out of the photogenic photobomber loomed in the background.

John was handsome as ever in a grey varsity jacket with dark slacks and classic sneakers.

But it was the tall, two-dimensional brunette in the background who really turned heads.

Even though she was a cardboard approximation of the beauty, Fiji Girl continued to steal attention from the celebrities surrounding her.

Attention magnet: While John was handsome as always, it was the tall, two-dimensional brunette in the background who really turned heads

The beverage presenter, who is a Canadian model named Kelleth Cuthbert, stole the show at Sunday's Golden Globes Awards.

She was one of several models hired for the gig but Kelleth, who moved from Toronto to Los Angeles in 2015, took center stage with her red carpet placement.

Before the Fiji Water job, her work consisted mostly of risque fashion, lingerie and bikini photoshoots and promoting vitamins and face masks on Instagram.

Cuthbert's past work includes bikini, lingerie and fashion photoshoots which she shares on her Instagram page

The stand-out: Kelleth was actually one of four Fiji water girls working at the event

One of them: Kelleth Cuthbert, who has been christened Fiji Water lady on Twitter, looked just like one of the guests in her floor-length blue gown

After Sunday's event, she took to social media to laugh off her newfound fame

When her photos from the Globes started spreading, Cuthbert took to Instagram to comment lightheartedly on all the attention.

Sharing a screenshot of an article about her antics on her Instagram story, she said she was 'dead'.

Later, on Facebook, she wrote: 'Needless to say this has been the strangest day of my life.'

Firm friends: Kelleth got so close to stars like Lucy Boynton in a few of the snaps that it looked almost as though she was attending the awards with them

Brazen: Some Twitter users noted that Kelleth's smile looked a bit sinister in a few of the photos

Feeling shy? Some Twitter users joked that 'Fiji water lady' is 'stronger than all of us' because she was able to look away from handsome hunk Idris Elba

Working it! Kelleth, pictured with Jamie Lee Curtis, was congratulated on Twitter for 'serving' in every sense of the word, from the water to the sensational stares at the camera

Speaking to the LA Times at the event, Cuthbert admitted she had worked out a strategy for achieving the best photobomb.

'It's all strategic,' she explained. 'You've got to angle.'

To name a few, the woman was snapped with actress Judy Greer, Bodyguard star and Golden Globe winner Richard Madden, Crazy Rich Asians' Costance Wu, Lucy Boynton of Bohemian Rhapsody fame, and breakthrough star Kiki Layne.

Kelleth even managed to sneak into the background of a romantic kissing shot of Heidi Klum and her new fiance Tom Kaulitz.

Kelleth appeared grateful for the media attention, sharing a few snippets from articles about her viral fame on her Instagram Story, after sharing a candid snap of herself on the red carpet - without any of her new famous friends.

Just about made it! In a few of the photos, Kelleth is off to the side, such as in this photo of Constance Wu, while others see her taking a more front-and-center position

Twinning! The model almost looked as though she had dressed to match Camilla Belle

Pucker up! Kelleth even managed to work her way into the background of a kissing photo of Heidi Klum and her new fiance Tom Kaulitz
