One has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide as an iconic musical figure of her generation; the other scored twice against the Highland League champions on the way to helping Hibernian to back-to-back Betfred Cup victories over the last week.
One is the highest grossing male film actor of all time, with blockbuster releases including Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction and Snakes on a Plane bringing in over $27 billion at the box office; the other ended Rangers’ long run without conceding earlier in the Premiership season.
Beyoncé, Samuel L.Jackson, Stevie Mallan and Drey Wright May sound like the kind of fever dream fantasy line up only achieved by ingesting a cocktail of exotic substances, but the reality is actually closer than you may think.

Hibs might not be going Hollywood, but the agency which represents two of their midfield stars certainly is.
Stellar Group - who also hold the representation for Tottenham star Gareth Bale, Aston Villa's Jack Grealish and Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez - has been taken over and merged with ICM Partners as part of a takeover creating ICM Stellar Sports.
The firm, founded by London-based 'super agent' Jonathan Barnett, handles contracts worth more than £2.3 billion across their footballing stable, according to The Guardian.
Among their Scottish football clients are Arsenal and former Celtic star Kieran Tierney, Chelsea and ex-Rangers prodigy Billy Gilmour and former Hearts captain Danny Wilson, now with MLS club Colorado Rapids.
ICM, whose client list includes both Beyoncé and Jackson, as well as comedians Chris Rock and Jerry Seinfeld, has taken over the firm in one of the biggest unheralded deals of the transfer window.
The deal is seen as the latest influx of American money into the British game after another agency, Base Soccer, was bought out by Creative Artists Agency last year.
According to reports in both The Guardian and the Financial Times, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has forced certain talent agency which usually specialise in entertainment to diversify while the production for film, television and live music remains shut down.
Athletes have been given a considerable platform by the pandemic, both on the pitch with the continuing action in support of the Black Lives Matter movement, and off it, with streaming numbers for football matches during lockdown skyrocketing during lockdown.
So will we see Beyonce and Jay-Z queuing up to ensure Blue Ivy, Rumi and Sir are season ticket holders down Easter Road?
Perhaps not. But given ICM's talent pool also includes Michael Keaton, the former owner of Kilnockie FC in the 1997 documentary A Shot at Glory, the links between Hollywood and Scottish football could be stronger than first thought.
