Justin Timberlake Invited To Marine Corps Ball, Will Attend
Mila Kunis will not be the only celebrity attending a Marine Corps Ball this November. Mila’s Friends With Benefits co-star Justin Timberlake has been invited to the Washington, D.C. Marine Corps Ball and has accepted.
Under pressure from Justin, Mila accepted a YouTube invitation from Sgt Scott Moore to attend the annual formal dance. Shortly after, Cpl Kelsey De Santis issued her own request, asking Justin to be her date. At the end of her 15-second video message, Cpl De Santis references one of Justin’s song, saying that he can “Cry Me A River” if he says no.
No one will need to cry, because he said yes. He told reporters:
“I’ll tell you what: I accept. But not because she shouted out one of my songs, which I do love. And not because she had all those beefcake military guys behind her to intimidate me. I don’t get asked out. Ever. So I was very flattered by that. If my schedule works out to do it, I’d love to do it. It’s an honor.”
I can’t say how much I love this. I think the whole thing is awesome: the chutzpah on the part of these two Marines to seriously ask for the date, the willingness of the celebs to actually do it. Of course, now YouTube is going to be flooded with requests from everyone and their pet lizard asking celebrities out on dates, but if there is one lesson we can all take from this, it is: it can’t hurt to ask.
Watch Cpl De Santis’ video invitation after the jump.
