MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — The odds of a “yes” were slim, but the payoff was huge for one Minnesota teenager who asked Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson to the prom.
Katie Kelzenberg is a high school student at Stillwater Area High School in Minnesota.
Kelzenberg posted a video to Twitter on Sunday, asking the former pro wrestler and “Rampage” star to prom.
As an added touch, the teen wore Johnson’s often memed black turtleneck, fanny pack combo.
“You may be wondering, why I should I go to prom with her?” Kelzenberg says in the now-viral video. “Well, let me tell you why. I am the biggest Dwayne Johnson fan.”
Johnson posted his response to Kelzenberg via Instagram Friday.
“Unfortunately I’ll be shooting during that time in Hawaii,” Johnson wrote. “BUT I was so impressed by this young lady’s charm and confidence to even ask me (ladies always get shy in front of me) that I had to do something special.”
It’s not a total bummer for the teen.
Rather than spending her prom with the superstar, Kelzenberg is getting a special screening of “Rampage” with more than 200 of her closest friends, complete with “all the free popcorn, candy and soda high school kids can consume.” All paid for by Johnson himself.
The fun didn’t stop there! Johnson also recorded a message for Kelzenberg, which played over her school’s intercom system Friday.
We smell what The Rock is cooking… memories one high schooler will never forget!
