“I’m Jewish, five-foot-nine on a very good day, and I can’t dance, at all. You’re Christian, five-foot-ten, and that Cat Daddy video, should have won an Oscar for best short film.”
That’s the way 17-year-old Jake Davidson chooses to pitch his prom proposal to supermodel Kate Upton in a viral YouTube video that has reached national popularity. In the video that reached more than a million views, the Los Angeles kid shaves, takes a shower, pumps up some push-ups, and even features his young brother and adorable dog, among other things.
Davidson became a celebrity, and even better, got a (tentative) yes from Upton, who tweeted,
“@jakedavidson23:youtube.com/watch?v=NvxqUE…” you can call me Katie if you want! How could I turn down that video! I’ll check my schedule 😉
