SANTA MONICA, California—A Southern California teenager turned heads at his prom when he showed up with a Danish model as his date.

 

Sports Illustrated model Nina Agdal agreed to step in as Jake Davidson’s date for the traditional high school dance Thursday night after he got turned down by supermodel Kate Upton.

 

The teenager appeared in a YouTube video that was viewed more than 2.5 million times asking Upton to be his date.

 

After Upton declined because of a scheduling conflict, Agdal volunteered to go, saying she never got to attend her own prom.

 

The Danish model is better known as the bikini-clad sunbather in a Carl’s Jr. ad.

 

Davidson told the Los Angeles Daily News he had an incredible night and said Agdal was down to earth.
