Justin Timberlake put on a mesmerizing halftime performance last night during Super Bowl LII.

But he was hardly the star.

Thanks to the Internet, a star was born in Ryan McKenna.

According to Complex, McKenna is the thirteen-year-old boy who took a “selfie” with JT while he was performing in the stands and the Internet went crazy.

Honestly, McKenna did what any person his age would have done in that situation.
