Seriously. Really cool of her, even though she got put on the spot. Bet that Marine never thought it would happen. You can watch the 19 second video he posted at the link.

Also, what a lucky SOB.

(CBS) Mila Kunis will be serving her country in November - by attending the Marine Corps. Ball in Greenville, N.C.

Sgt. Scott Moore, of the 3rd Battalion 2nd Marines in Musa Qala, Afghanistan, posted a video on YouTube last week asking the actress to be his date to the event on Nov. 18.

"Hi Mila, I just want to take a moment out of my day to invite you to the Marine Corps. Ball with yours truly," Moore said in the video. "So take a second to think about it and get back to me. All right, bye now."

During a weekend interview with Kunis and her "Friends with Benefits" co-star Justin Timberlake, FOX411 asked the actress about the invitation, prompting Timberlake to urge her to accept.

After checking with her publicist, the 27-year-old agreed to attend.

"I'll go, I'll do it for you," she said, turning to Timberlake to ask, "Are you going to come?"

"They don't want me! They want you," he responded, according to Fox. "You need to do it for your country."

"I'll do it," she confirmed.

All you have to do is ask. What's the worst they can do? Say "No."?

Justin Timberlake accepts Marine's invitation to ball

(CNN) -- YouTube has made another match for a U.S. Marine looking to score a date to the Marine Corps Ball.

Justin Timberlake said Friday that he will accept an invitation extended through a YouTube video by Cpl. Kelsey de Santis.

"If my schedule works out to do it, I'd love to do it. It's an honor," Timberlake said at a media event to promote the film "Friends with Benefits."

De Santis made the video after Timberlake's "Friends with Benefits" co-star Mila Kunis received a similar invitation from a Marine serving in Afghanistan.

"If you can't go, all I have to say is 'Cry Me a River,' " De Santis, flanked by a contingent of tough-looking male Marines, said on the video, referencing one of Timberlake's hit songs.

Timberlake joked that he was not accepting "because she shouted out one of my songs, which I love," but because "I don't get asked out ever, so I was very flattered by that."

His acceptance comes one day after Kunis addressed rumors that work would keep her from her date, despite saying she would attend Sgt. Scott Moore's YouTube invitation to attend the Marine Corps Ball in Greenville, North Carolina.

"I will happily clear it up, once and for all," Kunis said Thursday. "Never did I say that I was not going. ... I am attending. I'm going. November 18 I will be there."

If Timberlake follows through on his acceptance, he will attend the November 12 Marine Corps Ball in Washington.

Oh boy, here we go. Soon we're going to have superstars left and right accepting invititations from random Youtubers to a dance. Eventually people like Brad Pitt are going to be attending some random prom in the Midwest because a pimply teenaged girl asked them through Youtube.

Or something like that.

He is from Springfield, Missouri after all....I could see it happening.

Realistically, I think it's safe to say it's a PR Move to look great "Supporting the Troops".

Their Hearts might be in the right place, but the Publicist is loving the attention they'll get, plus the advertisement for the movie FWB.

Either way, Good for the both of them.

You're right, I keep forgetting about that.

Either way, Mila Kunis and now Justin Timberlake are setting a precedent for other super stars. If someone gets asked in a similar fashion, it's going to look really bad on them not to accept.

Mila Kunis? Well she definetly doesn't look like a fighter, but who knows.
