Kelleth Cuthbertaka the 2019 Golden Globe Awards’Fiji Water Girlsays she is just a girl who wants to help the world stay hydrated one photobomb at a time.
After stealing the show at the 76th annual awards on Sunday evening, as she stood behind stars on the red carpet with her tray of Fiji Water, the Golden Globe model became the talk of the night.

“There’s tons of photographers everywhere. It doesn’t matter where you stand, you’re in the crossfire of every shot,” she explained to PEOPLE. “You’ve gotta have good face, at least, if you’re gonna be hovering in the background frequently.”
But not every pose resulted in a perfect modeling face according to her employer Fiji Water, who described her presence in the photographs as “ominous.”
“We’re so glad everyone is talking about our water! senses ominous presence She’s right behind us, isn’t she? #FIJIwatergirl” the company jokinglytweeted on Sunday evening.
While she may have had an “ominous” appearance, Cuthbert said really wasn’t thinking bad thoughts — or thinking about much at all in the moment as the red carpet was far too fast-paced for that.
“The photographers have to take so many shots, so rapidly,” she told PEOPLE. “Obviously, your face doesn’t look perfectly pleasant in all of them, so they captured lots of expressions [where I’m] naturally making weird faces.”

And even though Cuthbert appeared in dozens of photos with big-name stars, including Judy Greer, Idris Elba, Eric Lange, and Tony Shalhoub, she had one particular favorite photobomb from the evening.
“I loved the Jim Carrey one,” she revealed to PEOPLE. “I love his work. I grew up watching his movies and thought it was a funny thing to find myself in the background of.”

As the evening went on, Cuthbert quickly became one of the most talked about topics on social media. The model, however, was unaware of her instantaneous fame as she stood on the carpet phone-less.
“I had absolutely no idea what was happening because I obviously didn’t have my phone on me,” she told PEOPLE of the social media craze happening while she worked.

She certainly made an impact, as there were more than 50,000 tweets sent out about Cuthbert on Twitter in just a few short hours.
Despite modeling for 12 years, Cuthbert said the experience was one-of-a-kind and unlike anything she had ever imagined.
“Nothing quite so interesting has ever happened,” she said. “Nothing has garnered so much attention as this before.”
