Zach Galifianakis and a homeless woman he saved are ready to attend the premiere of The Hangover 3. Yes, you read that correctly, and it somehow fits.

When the actor was just getting his start in the ’90s, he became friends with Elizabeth “Mimi” Haist, a woman who volunteered at an L.A. laundromat.

When Zach learned in 2011 that his friend had fallen on hard times and was homeless, he got her an apartment and started taking her to red carpet events.

Haist, 87, told the New York Daily News that she loves the experience and is prepping to go as Galifianakis’ date to the upcoming Hangover III premiere.

“I’m looking forward to it, I like the excitement of it,” Haist said.

Looks like Galifianakis’ heart is as big as his beard.
