Justin Timberlake Says Yes to a Marine

Justin Timberlake Friends with Benefits Press Conference

It appears Mila Kunis won’t be the only Hollywood star heading to the Marine Corps Ball this November. After her Friends with Benefits co-star Justin Timberlake encouraged her to accept a date from Sgt. Scott Moore, it didn’t take long for a female Marine to extend an invitation to Timberlake.

Asked about what he thinks of the invitation from Kelsey De Santis, Timberlake told reporters at a Friends with Benefits press conference that he would say yes to being De Santis’ Marine Corp Ball date.

“I’ll tell you what, I accept. But not because she shouted out one of my songs, which I do love when they do that because I’m shameless,” joked Timberlake. “And not because she had all those military guys behind her to try and intimidate me – although that probably would have worked by itself. I don’t get asked out ever, so I was very flattered by that. And I hear that she’s trained in martial arts so I’m hoping we can tussle at some point. That last part was a joke. But yeah, if my schedule works out I’d love to do it. It’s an honor.”
