Super Bowl selfie kid on reaction: 'It's crazy'
The star of the Super Bowl halftime show wasn't Justin Timberlake. It was a 13-year-old trying to get a selfie.
Ryan McKenna was captured fiddling with his phone before he got a selfie with the pop star during the performance.
The image resulted in McKenna becoming the meme of the game.
During an interview with Good Morning America on Monday, McKenna said he was capturing a video and his phone shut off, which is why we see him fiddling with his phone in the image.
"He just came up, and I just jumped right in there," he said. "And he stopped right in our row, so it was perfect."
McKenna said right after it happened, his phone "just exploded" with notifications and social media followers.
"It's crazy. Everyone thinks it's so cool," he said.
