An American family was left stunned during an incredible moment when they realized Michael Jordan was sitting behind them during lunch at a Venice, Italy restaurant. 

The moment, as captured on TikTok from user travelinang, shows Angela Terrill and her parents having a meal at the Riva Lounge about to cheers two glasses of beer when Jordan is in the background behind them. 

At first, Jordan is on the phone and smoking a cigar. Another photo shows him texting while sitting behind the father. 

Terrill said Jordan was at the restaurant for more than three hours, came over to their table, cracked jokes, and shook their hands on his way out of the lounge. 

The restaurant where they saw Jordan was on Murano, an island off the coast from the main city of Venice. 

Terrill explained on her Instagram that the moment happened in 2019, with it going viral after she posted the photos to TikTok earlier this week.

The TikTok post has already been viewed by more than 3million people and is just shy of 400k in likes. 

Many have flocked to the post saying Terrill looks like WNBA star Caitlin Clark and that Jordan, at 56 in the photos, looked amazing. 

‘Damn not a single wrinkle,’ one person said. 

‘I thought this post was about Caitlin Clark. You look just like her in the first picture,’ a second added. ‘Jordan is pretty cool, too.’

Terrill has not posted about randomly running into any A-list celebrities since, with it being hard to top shaking hands with arguably the greatest basketball player of all-time.
