Two months ago, at this year's Super Bowl LII, 13-year-old Ryan McKenna went viral after he posed with Justin Timberlake during his Half Time show for a few selfies. Well, Justin and Ryan have finally reunited, and have taken another great selfie together.
Let's recap: Just a week after the Super Bowl, Ryan appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show where Ellen surprised the teen with a phone call from Justin, who gifted him VIP tickets to his "Man of the Woods Tour" stop in Boston at the TD Garden. He also told Ryan he wanted to properly meet him backstage at the concert, and take another selfie. Mission accomplished!
Ryan met Justin at his show, and snapped the above selfie, sent exclusively to iHeartRadio before posting to his own Instagram account. He wrote along with the pic, "Great time meeting @justintimberlake #manofthewoodstour !! #selfie"
As if meeting Justin Timberlake wasn't exciting enough for Ryan, a lot of fans have noticed that he got his braces off! Perfect timing!
Ryan may have said he will "never forget this moment for the rest of [his] life" being on Ellen and being surprised with the "Man of the Woods Tour" tickets, but we're betting the new selfie is up there too. Maybe even more than the original selfie...
After going viral at the Super Bowl, appearing in a ton of memes, Ryan appeared on The Ellen Show to give his side of the story. He explained that despite those memes that had been floating around, yes he did know who Justin Timberlake was, and no he wasn't on social media or Google for that matter. His phone shut off and was trying to turn it back on to get some selfies with Justin. He said:
"Yeah, so all the memes, I've seen those. I had a video that I had that I was ... because my dad told me that he was coming up, so I pushed up there. But I had the video of when I was going to Justin, and then, I have the iPhone 6 and so that thing's slow, so it just shut off, and that's why all the memes formed. Like 'Who is Justin Timberlake?' and 'What are the words to CAN'T STOP THE FEELING!?' But I had to get the camera back out to get the selfie with Justin."
Well, thanks to their official meet and greet, it looks like Ryan is officially a Man of the Woods now.
