The Rock Turns Down A High Schooler’s Promposal In The Coolest Way Possible (Video)

It’s prom season, which means the internet will soon be inundated with videos of high school-age students asking celebrities to prom. It happens every year. Every now and then, someone actually accepts the invite, but most of the time, it ends with a “Thanks but no thanks” type of response.

This year, The Rock was invited to 18-year-old Katie Kelzenberg’s prom in Minnesota. Being the stand-up dude that The Rock is, he actually replied, saying that he could not make it (unfortunately) because he was shooting a movie. To make up for it, he rented out a local movie theater so that Katie and all of her friends could see his new movie for free! Awesome!

The coolest part about this whole story is how The Rock responded to Katie: he recorded an announcement and it was played over the intercom at her school during the daily announcements! Very cool, Dwayne. Very cool!

 

SURPRISE KATIE KELZENBERG! About a week ago, I come across a video on my Twitter feed, from a student at Stillwater Area High School (oldest high school in Minnesota) asking me if I would be her date to her prom. Unfortunately, I’ll be shooting during that time in Hawaii, 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. I decided to rent out an entire theater (capacity 232 seats) in her town so Katie and her closest 232 friends and family can enjoy a special screening of RAMPAGE. And all the free popcorn, candy and soda high school kids can consume! You’re money’s no good Katie… everything is on Uncle DJ. ???????????? ????????!! And I also taped a special morning message surprising Katie and her high school that will play across the school’s intercom system… literally…RIGHT NOW, Katie should be turning red hearing me surprise her in front of her entire school. I wish I was there in person Katie, to see your reaction to all this, but I’ll hear about for sure and most importantly – you and all your friends have fun at the theater and ENJOY RAMPAGE! Thanks for being an AWESOME FAN and I’m a lucky dude to have fans like you. Uncle DJ ????????❤️ Ps – the gorilla in Rampage is way smarter (and better looking) than I am, but don’t tell him that because he has a HUGE ego ????
