AceShowbiz - Super Bowl LII is already over, but many people still remember Ryan McKenna, a boy who took a selfie with Justin Timberlake during halftime show. Well, it appeared 13-year-old Ryan received another surprise from the singer when he appeared on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show".
In the February 9 episode, Ryan recalled how he ended up taking a selfie with Justin when the halftime headliner suddenly called in to chat with him. "Oh my God, I can't believe this," Ryan said, tearing up the moment Justin called his name over the phone.
Host Ellen DeGeneres then complimented Justin on his performance, leading him to explain that dancing through the section wasn't part of the plan. "Basically, I knew that I wanted to end the performance with 'Can't Stop the Feeling!' because I knew how people respond to that song," he said. "And then cut to Ryan!"
"He's so awesome," Ryan said of Justin. "He's just an awesome dancer, singer -- everything!" After Ellen joked that Justin would probably start sending money to the teen, Justin remarked that he did have something for Ryan. In fact, it was something that was even better than money.
"I tell you what I want to do," he said. "Because it was so unexpected that you came down and because all of this has happened, I thought myself I really wanna meet you properly. I'm going to be coming to TD Garden on tour to play in Boston. I'd like to invite you and your family to come."
The concert tickets were not the only gifts that Ryan received on the show. NFL also gave him four tickets to a Patriots home game next season and four pre-game field passes. "Thank you so much!" Ryan exclaimed, bursting into tears. "Oh my gosh!"
"Ryan, I look forward to meeting you," Justin ended their phone conversation. "And our second selfie together."
