Ansel Elgort visits "The Fault in Our Stars" bench in Amsterdam

Is this the luckiest bench in all of Amsterdam? Could be.

It played a part in this summer's hit movie "The Fault In Our Stars," as the spot where Augustus Waters (Ansel Elgort) and Hazel Grace Lancaster (Shailene Woodley) share a tender moment -- including a kiss.

After the movie came out, the bench temporarily went missing but was later returned, which meant fans of the movie and John Green's book could capture their own Gus-Hazel moment.

That includes Elgort himself -- while in Europe promoting his new film "Men, Women & Children," the actor made a stop in Amsterdam to the surprise and delight of "TFIOS" fans.

One girl multitasked by chatting with him while riding her bike.

"Asked two people kissing on the bench if that was the bench from 'TFIOS.' Was a great moment, then asked them to take a pic for me," he wrote.

If that wasn't great enough on its own, look closely at the photo above -- someone (a "Fault in Our Stars" superfan, we'd guess) wrote Hazel and Gus' famous "Okay? Okay." line on the bench. Perfect? Perfect.
