High school student asked Dwayne Johnson to her prom — his amazing response left her flush-faced and speechless
A prom is a special day for most high school seniors, so they try to put their best foot forward. One teen did the same and asked Dwayne Johnson, The Rock, to take her to the prom. To her surprise, he responded with a big surprise that left her and her classmates absolutely stunned. The students of Still Waters High were sitting in their classroom in the morning when the actor addressed the teen's request during the morning announcement and it absolutely made her day. Her response was shared by KARE 11 News.
"Let's start the Friday morning announcements with a little bit of fun and a little bit of excitement," The Rock's voice began playing on the speaker as all the students started looking around. "Good morning to the Stillwater Area High School students, this, as you might have guessed, is Dwayne Johnson, also known as 'The Rock.'" The girl who had asked the actor out had her hands on her face in astonishment and looked completely shocked. The actor continued, "Also known as the big, brown, bald, tattoo guy who is running around movies such as Jumanji..." He added, "You are probably thinking, what? What is the rock doing on our intercom system? Well, I am sending a message to a very special young lady and her name is Katie Kelzenberg."
"Katie, I'm sure you are so embarrassed right now, but I just had to let you know how cool and awesome you are for inviting me to your prom," Johnson remarked. The actor shared that, unfortunately, he would not be able to attend the prom because he was shooting for a new movie in Hawaii. However, he did have something big up his sleeve to make up for it. "Because we are now best friends, and I have so much love for you because you're so awesome, I have a special gift," he said. "I've rented out a theater for tomorrow, the gift is this: grab all your favorite friends and closest family members and whoever you want to bring, because tomorrow I'm showing you a screening of my new movie, 'Rampage' ... and all the popcorn and candy and soda you can drink, cause it's all on me." The theater had 232 seats.
"I think after this, since me and Katie are best friends now, this would officially make me a Still Waters Area High School Pony. You guys have the best time. And I am waiting for some chivalrous gentleman boy to take you to the prom or, you know what, maybe you don't need a boy at all. Just go with your girlfriends. You guys have a blast," Johnson highlighted. "Thank you for being awesome. Alright, Still Waters Area High School, I am out." The teen was stunned and blushing as the announcement ended and all of the other students started clapping. She was holding back tears of joy at the big surprise.
The girl had shared a video on X, where she goes by @katiekelzenberg, asking the actor to come to her senior prom with her. She also gave him the address of the prom. "You must be wondering why I should go to prom with her, well, let me tell you, I am the biggest Dwayne Johnson fan. I love all of your movies. I dressed up as you for Halloween. I have the biggest Dwayne Johnson merch collection." She showed off her collection and asked, "Dwayne, will you Rock it at the prom with me?" The video reached the actor, and the rest is history.
