On Sunday, [Nicole Kidman](http://people.com/tag/nicole-kidman "undefined") was going about her pre-Oscars duties when she decided to surprise a bus full of unsuspecting passengers aboard an Access Hollywood tour of Los Angeles — giving them the ultimate celebrity experience. The actress posted a video of the adorable exchange on Instagram, which shows the moment she rolled down her window at a stoplight and said hello. “Hi, everyone,” she said as they all began squealing in excitement once they recognized her. “Oh my God,” said one fan. “This is like a dream come true!” “You look beautiful,” gushed another. “I haven’t gotten my hair and makeup done yet, so,” said Kidman with a laugh before blowing them a kiss and waving goodbye.
