"She's funny, she's sweet, she's mature. She's the all-around perfect woman," Lewis said of White. "I really think we'd have a good time. I'm fun, you know. ... I think I can make her laugh. I think she can make me laugh. I think we can laugh together. ... So, call me!"

White has yet to respond to his invitation, People reports. But "Friends with Benefits" co-stars Kunis and Timberlake confirmed on the "Today" show Monday that they agreed to accompany Sgt. Scott Moore and Cpl. Kelsey De Santis, respectively.

The actors clarified that there is more that one Marine Corps ball and they will be attending separate events. Kunis was invited to a ball in North Carolina on Nov. 18 while Timberlake was invited to one in Washington, D.C., on Nov. 12.

"It's two separate balls ... there are multiple balls," Kunis said. "Marines have a lot of balls."

"Marines got balls," Timberlake added. "We want to pay honor to our county and embrace their balls."
