Teen asks actress Emma Stone to prom by recreating 'La La Land' opening number

It appears that way, ever since the smoothest teen of all, 17-year-old Jacob Staudenmaier, decided he would ask his celebrity crush, the beautiful and talented star of La La Land, Emma Stone, to be his date to prom.

Heads up-he looks just like a young Ryan Gosling, so this could not be more perfect.

In perhaps the most epic way possible, Staudenmaier, a junior at Arcadia High School in Phoenix, Arizona, set out to win Stone's heart by putting his own epic spin on the La La Land opening number and shooting a music video at his school.

"I love La La Land. It was one of my favourite films of the year, and I've always loved Emma Stone as an actress, especially in her film Birdman," Staudenmaier said.

"I decided if I was going to do this I needed to do it big and ambitious," he explained.

The promposal was inspired by another student at his school who asked Miley Cyrus to prom about three years ago.

Though Cyrus didn't accompany the boy to prom, she did invite him onstage at one of her concerts, which should give Staudenmaier some serious hope.

After the movie slayed at the Oscars, the teen thought he'd have some fun and use his love for filmmaking to craft the perfect promposal.

He set forth to recreate the famous opening number right down to the traffic jam, choreography, and prom-appropriate rendition of "Another Day of Sun," called "The Valley of the Sun."

"The planning took about two weeks with intense thinking about how the movements had to be and when I'd sing each line," Staudenmaier said.
