Kate Upton responded to a request from a nerdy high school senior. Jake Davidson invited her via a YouTube video: "I'm gonna be real with you here, I don't have a girlfriend, and with prom season coming around, that could be problematic for some. But I'm me, I'm Optimus Prime, and I see the glass half full….You're the ying to my yang, I'm Jewish, 5'9 on a really good day - and I can't dance at all. You're Christian, 5'10, and that Cat Daddy video should have won an Oscar for best short film." Kate's reply via Twitter: "You can call me Katie if you want! How could I turn down that video! I'll check my schedule ;)"
