While he’s become known for his brooding, twisty thrillers, The Sixth Sense‘s writer-director M. Night Shyamalan managed to trick audiences again, without even trying.

It all started when a Twitter user posted her shock that the filmmaker wrote the 1999 romantic comedy She’s All That, which starred Freddy Prince Jr. and Rachael Leigh Cook.

“How have I gone 23 years without knowing this,” she mused.

Apparently, it came as a surprise to tens of thousands of social media users, too.

The post, a screencap of a Google search, has gotten more than 30,000 likes and earned a retweet from one of the stunned: none other than one of the movie’s cast members, Gabrielle Union.

“I was IN this movie and I had no idea,” she captioned.
