Harris Beall, the 22-year-old spotted next to Britney Spears in her weekend Twitter post, is just a stranger who briefly met the pop star over the weekend.
Beall was featured in a pic on the star’s Twitter feed on Sunday, which she captioned, “So nice to be home! Nothing like Louisiana boys.”
The post prompted many fans to wonder more about the young man, more so on Monday when news broke of Spears’ split with Charlie Ebersol.

But Beall told Access Hollywood exclusively it was nothing more than a Louisiana dockside connection. The dockhand at The Prop Stop in Ponchatoula, LA, told Access he met the pop star when she, her sister, Jamie-Lynn Spears, and Jamie Lynn’s husband (Jamie Watson) came by his work for burgers.

Beall said he ran into the star again when he was on the dock on Sunday.

“Later that day, I was walking down the dock and Britney said, ‘Can I take a picture with you?’ because she liked my shirt.”
Beall said he said yes to the snap, “like anyone else would.”
“I’m a typical college football player,” he told Access Hollywood. “I work at a bar down by the river and was asked to take a picture with Britney Spears [on Sunday].”
“Britney and I are not affiliated with each other at all,” he added.

Of his instant fame, Beall told Access, “I think the whole thing is funny.”
Beall Tweeted on Monday afternoon, “Oops, I think I’m in love,” but he clarified that his Tweet was just a humorous post.
“I was just joking,” he said.
