John Krasinski took to Instagram to announce the senior prom along with a photo from his own high school prom.
“First of all… you’re welcome,” he captioned the photo. “Second of all I can’t take it anymore how much you are all missing your prom. So let’s do something about it! Let’s have an #SGNprom”
In addition, Krasinski also made a video where he is wearing a tuxedo and slow dancing with the camera.
“Slow dance with me!” he wrote. “no seriously, please slow dance with me otherwise I look ridiculous!”
In fact, the fun had just begun as John posted a clip of the live stream as he bobbed along to Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas O’Connell’s performance of “Bad Guy” over video chat.
The celebrity train didn’t end there. Recently reunited band The Jonas Brothers also made an appearance at the virtual prom. They performed their hit song “Sucker” for the prom.
