(Video) Alabama high schooler goes all out to score prom date with Selena Gomez

When it comes to senior prom, Enterprise High School senior Cole LaBrant is shooting for the stars — or at least for one star.

In a video posted to YouTube Saturday, LaBrant is relying on his sense of humor to win himself a date with 22-year-old singer and actress Selena Gomez.

Gomez came up as a child star in various Disney Channel series, including Hannah Montana, before Disney gave her the lead role as Alex Russo in Wizards of Waverly Place, which went on to be a hit. Since then she has appeared in numerous television shows and films.

She’s also released four studio albums, three with her band, Selena Gomez and the Scene, and one as a solo artist.

She’s dated — or been rumored to have dated — numerous celebrities, from Nick Jonas and Taylor Lautner to Justin Bieber. Her latest rumored romance is DJ and producer Zedd, with whom she’s working on a new album.

Unintimidated by Gomez’s extensive list of celebrity admirers, LaBrant makes his pitch at the end of the video, which you can see above.

“My name’s Cole LaBrant, I live in Enterprise, Alabama, and not much exciting stuff goes on here,” he says. “But if you were to go to prom with me, it would be something that I would never forget, and I would try to make sure that you had a really good time, too. So, Selena Gomez, will you go to prom with me?”

LaBrant is hoping the video will spread online enough that it will reach Gomez, and hey, we’re all about helping make dreams come true, so we’re going to do our part!
