As a typical Dwayne Johnson fan, Katie proposed to The Rock in her video, donning a black top, jeans, and a fanny pack. Dwayne Johnson later lauded Katie for having the courage to step out of her comfort zone and ask out The Great One to go to prom with her. In addition, Katie even made The Rock’s gym wall.

Dwayne Johnson surprises a student who asked him to go to prom with her

Katie Kelzenberg was having a regular Friday at school until Dwayne Johnson made sure it was a memorable one. Stillwater students were gobsmacked when they realized that Dwayne Johnson was communicating with them through the intercom.

As surprised as everybody was, Katie’s excitement level was unmatched. After introducing himself, Dwayne Johnson delivered a very special message to Katie. 

The entire time, as Johnson spoke, Katie held her face in disbelief. Johnson revealed that he would not be able to make it to the prom due to his schedule.

However, Dwayne Johnson gave Katie a gift that will leave Dwayne Johnson fans envious. The Red Notice actor stated that he had rented out a theatre for Katie and for those close to her to enjoy the screening of his then-new movie, Rampage. 

“I have a special gift. I’ve rented out a theater 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.”

Moreover, DJ also made sure that all the popcorn, candies, and sodas were paid for. In the end, Johnson then encouraged a chivalrous young boy to take Katie to prom before stating that she could have a blast with her girlfriends as well.

Katie had tears in her eyes. This just goes to show that Dwayne Johnson does not shy away from going the extra mile to make his fans happy.
