As Garner finished watching the video, Osmond quietly walked up behind her and began singing “Happy Birthday.” She immediately recognized his voice, turned around, and completely freaked out — in the most wholesome way possible. The actress leaped up to hug him as Osmond stood beaming, clearly delighted to give her the surprise of a lifetime.

In the moment of excitement, Garner had to pause and remove her sweater, laughing with Osmond and admitting she was getting overheated from all the emotion.
