Michelle Obama is the First Lady of the United State of America, but now she is also...Groot.

Michelle Obama officially cemented herself in geekdom by uttering "I Am Groot" on a recent episode of Funny or Die's Billy On The Street. In the episode of the quiz gameshow, Billy asks Obama to recite the Guardians of the Galaxy's most famous line. Staring into the camera, Michelle did her best Vin Diesel impression possible.

As fans of Guardians of the Galaxy will remember, Groot, the intergalactic teams' talking tree, only has a vocabulary that consists of "I am Groot." Despite it's brevity, the line became one of the most-loved moments from James Gunn's 2014 film, spawning memes, t-shirts, and even an app.

Check out Michelle Obama embrace her inner Guardians geek at 8:35 mark below.

And now, it's official: Not even the White House is safe from the Guardians of the Galaxy craze.
