She later told CBS Philly, “I didn’t know it was Keith Urban. I didn’t think he had enough money to pay for his things so, I said I would pay for it. When he told me who he was and I briefly didn’t believe it was him.”

In fact, she grilled him about it: “I said that he did look like Keith Urban, he said he was. I didn’t believe him, I asked where Nicole Kidman was and who was the lady he was with at the time. He told me it was his sister. He finally said that I could ask his bodyguard. It was then I realized what an idiot I was. He graciously allowed me to get my picture taken with him.”

And now that pic has gone viral across both Twitter and Facebook. Ruth tweeted along with the pic, “@KeithUrban, thank you for the photo at @Wawa. You were so gracious. I’m a celebrity with my FB friends now! Thanks!”
