The star in question is 90s movie icon, Meg Ryan.

The actress, who is known for romantic comedies like Sleepless in Seattle, was spotted out for a stroll in London, when she stopped to tie up her shoelace.

Taking a seat on a bench, the Hollywood movie star went unnoticed by people passing by as she tied up her lace.

Meg was dressed all in black from head to toe, and completed her look with a pair of round sunglasses.

The iconic star also had her trademark thick blonde hair in waves around her shoulders.

MOVIE ICON

During the late 80s and 90s, Meg was the queen of rom-com movies.

She managed to score hit after hit, with films like You've Got Mail, French Kiss and Kate & Leopold.

However, Meg is perhaps best known for starring alongside Billy Crystal in 1989 flick, When Harry Met Sally.

The movie was a massive hit for both the actors, but Meg will always be known for one scene in particular

This is when her character Sally famously caused a stir in a Manhattan deli, in a bid to prove that men can't tell when a woman's faking it when they orgasm.

It was filmed in Katz's Delicatessen and saw one fellow customer quip: "I'll have what she's having."

Meg took a hiatus from acting in 2003 for 12 years.

In a 2019 interview with The New York Times, she discussed the reasoning behind her break from acting.

"I wasn't as curious about acting as I was about other things that life can give you," Meg told the outlet. "I wanted to live more."

Meg continued: "You're at a disadvantage as a young, famous person because you don't know who's telling you the truth.

"I'm not complaining – there are so many advantages to being famous – but there are fundamental disadvantages for a part of your brain, your self, your soul."

PROUD MUM

Away from being a movie star, Meg is also mum to her two kids – Daisy 21, and Jack, 24.

The actress adopted her daughter from China in 2006, when she was 14-months-old.

Meg shares her biological son Jack with her ex-husband Dennis Quaid, who she divorced in 2001.

The star has spoken openly and honestly about her children.

Meg told Redbook magazine in 2007 that she believed she and Daisy were meant to be together.

She said: "I am convinced, completely convinced that there was nothing random about it. She is the daughter I should have.

"I never felt like I was on a rescue mission or anything like that. I just really wanted a baby."
