Justin Timberlake "Blown Away" By Marine Ball Date!

Justin Timberlake "Blown Away" By Marine Ball Date!

Months after a YouTube invitation, JT holds true to his promise to Kelsey De Santis.

It was months ago when Justin Timberlake was asked via a YouTube video to accompany Kelsey De Santis to her Marine Corps Ball. This past Saturday, JT donned a tux and made good on his word, enjoying a night of music and dancing at the Richmond Convention Center in Virginia.

In July, Timberlake was at a press conference with his Friends With Benefits co-star, Mila Kunis, when he learned of the invitation. Just days before, he'd pressured Mila into accepting a Marine date of her own (her Ball is later this week). So, when the table's turned and JT had a Marine Ball proposition of his own, Mila immediately pressured him right back, and before they knew it, they both had dates! Mila Kunis & Justin Timberlake: A Double Date At The Marine Ball?

So, did the famous actor/singer have a good time?

It would seem so! After the event, Timberlake wrote on his website of his date, Kelsey:

"She seemed to me to be so humble and honest... Very cool. She also simultaneously seemed like she was nervous about the whole evening and if I was going to enjoy myself. 'Are you ok?' she asked 2 or 3 times. 'I hope you are having fun. I know you will once my crew of friends get here to the table.'" 

JT went on to say, "I have to tell you, it's not every day that I meet a 23-year-old girl and she's more worried about if I'm having fun or if I'm comfortable! It hit me all of a sudden that these were the type of people that look after us and our freedom... Humble, concerned for others before themselves... This was the type of person our Marine Corps was building. I was really blown away." Justin Timberlake Would Choose Love Over His Looks Any Day

We've always known Justin to be a good guy, but this makes him seem super awesome!

Kelsey told the press before the dance of her intentions for the evening. According to The Daily News, she was looking forward to sharing the dance floor with JT: "My friends keep saying, 'Dance-off!' They know about my skills." And, when asked if she thought the evening might spark any romantic interest between her and the sexy singer, she said, "Of course, I'm single! I don't know if a kiss will happen. I guess that's all up to JT and what his plans are."

Whoa, we wonder how Jessica Biel would feel about that? (And, how she'd plan to defend herself against a trained combat instructor who knows what she wants?) Are Justin Timberlake & Jessica Biel Back Together?

But Kelsey, who is a champion mixed martial artist in her off-time, wasn't the only one who benefitted from her A-list date—all the other attendees of the Instructor Battalion Marine Corps Ball did as well! According to People, a fellow Marine said, "We all brought sexy back! Justin seemed to have a good time, and it was great to see him there."

Tell us: do you think Justin would ever date a marine?
