A globally famous photographer has sparked possibly the only informative commenting spree in the history of the internet.

Brandon Stanton, famous for the Facebook page Humans of New York, managed to capture a photo of ‘Beyoncé’.

The young American girl told him she hates sharing the name with a pop star.

“Sometimes I hate my name because it always draws attention to me, and I’m not a very social person,” she said.

“I was so scared the first day of school that someone would notice me.

“When the teacher started calling attendance, I got really nervous, because every time people learn my name is Beyoncé, somebody starts singing.”

Once Mr Stanton posted the interview and photo online, his readers responded in the funniest and most heartwarming way.
