Naomi Watts is winning hearts as a year-old Instagram post is going viral again after several Twitter accounts noticed just how legendary it was and began celebrating the actress' snappy reflexes.

Back in May 2016, photographer Aubrey Lofgren posted this cheeky photo of the actress as she was riding the subway.

Celebrities, they're just like us, riding public transport!

Honestly, the casual radiance is too much to handle. Naturally when you see a celebrity in the wild your instinct is to immortalise the moment and immediately let everyone on social media know. But what Lofgren probably wasn't expecting was what Watts did next.

Think you're pretty sneaky? #gotyou #snap #subwayscenes 📸😜👀

Watts also commented on the original photo after posting her response with a sweet message to Lofgren. "Very funny!! @aubreylofgrenphotography #busted 😍 have fun on your vacation 👍."

The posts have been screencapped and began circulating on Twitter accounts like Common White Girl, Bitch Code and Common Girl, raking up hundreds of likes and retweets bringing the posts back before they celebrated their first anniversary.

A true legend.
