Mass. Teen Becomes Viral Sensation For Super Bowl Selfie With Timberlake
MINNEAPOLIS (CBS) -- A youngster who ended up stealing the show at Justin Timberlake's Super Bowl halftime show happens to be from New England.
Social media lit up when Timberlake paused during his performance to take a selfie with a young fan. It turns out the lucky kid is 13-year-old Ryan McKenna, a seventh-grader at Derby Academy in Hingham, according to TwinCities.com
"I just thought to myself, 'I'll never get this opportunity again in my whole life,'" McKenna told the media outlet. "I just went for it."
