Justin Timberlake kept his promise – and so did his “Friends with Benefits” co-star, Mila Kunis.
Mila accompanied Sgt. Scott Moore to the Marine Corps Ball on Friday night in Greenville, North Carolina, a spokesperson for the Marine Corps confirmed to Access Hollywood.

“Everything went well. It was a great experience for everybody,” spokesperson Capt. Scott Sasser told Access.
According to several local news reports in Greenville, the actress arrived into the Pitt-Greenville Airport around 2:30 PM local time on Friday and was quickly whisked to the Greenville Convention Center, the site of the ball.
Local news station WNCT was able to capture a brief shot of Mila arriving to the venue before disappearing inside.
No media were allowed inside the event, however Capt. Sasser did release two photos from inside, taken by a fellow Marine.
A rep for Mila had no additional comment when contacted by Access Hollywood.
Back in July, Sgt. Moore asked Mila to be his date for the night via a YouTube proposal.
“Hey Mila. It’s Sergeant Moore, but you can call me Scott,” he said from a base in Afghanistan. “I just wanted to take a moment out of my day to invite you to the Marine Corps Ball on November 18th in Greenville, North Carolina, with yours truly. So take a second, think about it and get back to me.”
Mila accepted the offer of the Marine, whose unit recently returned from a seven-month deployment to Afghanistan. The unit reportedly lost seven members during the tour of duty.
Shortly after being invited to the Ball by Sgt. Moore, Mila’s “Friends with Benefits” leading man, Justin Timberlake, received his own YouTube invitation by Marine Cpl. Kelsey De Santis to attend another ball, which he attended last week.
Following the event, Justin said it was one of the “most moving evenings I’ve ever had.”
His date, Cpl. De Santis, spoke to Access Hollywood about the big night and said her superstar date was a perfect gentleman.
“[I was surprised by] how genuine of a person he seems to be. He seems very selfless to me, so it was nice having him there. It was kind of like having one of our good friend’s at the table,” she told Access Hollywood Live’s Billy Bush and Kit Hoover on Tuesday. “He asked me a lot of questions about what I do and about me, which was really, really nice.”
