A Minnesota teen who asked her celebrity crush Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson to prom got a huge surprise when he actually responded.

Katie Kelzenberg, an 18-year-old student at Stillwater High School, Minnesota - doting fan of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson tweeted a prom proposal to her celebrity crush. 

Johnson was quick to respond, thanked Katie for the invite, and explained he couldn't attend because he was shooting a movie in Hawaii, reported USA TODAY.

But this is not where the conversation ended...

The Rock was clearly in a giving mood as he surprised his fans by booking out two theaters in LA thanking  fans for making RAMPAGE the number one movie at the box office. 

"Katie, I'm sure you are soooooo embarrassed right now, but I just had to let you know how cool and awesome you are for inviting me to your prom," he said.

So he set up the surprise of a lifetime for Katie, his response was played over the school's intercom system. 

"Because we are now best friends, and I have so much love for you because you're so awesome, I have a special gift. I've rented out a theater, the gift is this, grab all your favorite friends and closest family members and whoever you want to bring, because 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."

“I couldn’t believe it. I was so surprised,” Kelzenberg said. “I just kept thinking, ‘He saw me! He knows who I am!’” reported the Washington Post
