Disney star agrees to accompany fan to prom
Disney Channel star Allie Deberry will make a high school romantic's dreams come true next month (03May14) when she accompanies him to his prom.
Justin Hang, 18, posted a heartfelt video on YouTube.com last month (Mar14) asking the A.N.T. Farm star to be his date to the upcoming Fenton High School dance in Michigan.
The hopeful teen said, "I'm gonna be real. I've got game, you know
what I mean? I've got game... I don't have a girlfriend, I've never
been to a prom before. So Allie, maybe you can make that happen for
me."
Upon learning of Hang's video invite, DeBerry, 19, offered up a
challenge, telling the high school senior she will be his prom date
if he got 1,500 retweets.
The student landed his dream date thanks to Los Angeles-based DJ
Ryan Seacrest, who heard all about the quest and invited Hang to
join him on-air.
The 18 year old appeared on his show last week (27Mar14) and
listeners helped him reach the goal set by the actress.
He tells MLive.com, "When I hit 1,000 (retweets), I was contacted
by Ryan Seacrest and I was like, 'Is this real life right
now?'"
DeBerry plans to make good on her promise - she has sent Hang a
sweet tweet that reads: "I'd better go pick out my dress!"
