LA Whiz Kid Takes Supermodel To Prom in Santa Monica

An LA whiz kid is no doubt the envy of all his classmates — well, the male ones anyway — after he got to take a supermodel to his prom.

Jake Davisdson, 17, is a student at Milken Community High School in Los Angeles and attended his prom — “a night I will never forget” — Thursday evening.

Davidson put together a YouTube proposal originally aimed at Sports Illustrated supermodel Kate Upton. His funny video “Hey, you’re on the cover of Sports Illustrated … I read Sports Illustrated” got him a lot of notice and more than 2 million hits.

It even got him a date with Upton. For a time. Scheduling conflicts made Upton have to drop out.

To the rescue, equally-gorgeous Danish model Nina Agdal, also a Sports Illustrated hottie.

“Inside Edition” took Agdal dress shopping — she settled on a green, sheer, number.

KCAL9′s Cristy Fajardo reported from outside the prom — held at the Annenberg Community Beach House on the PCH.

The party wrapped about 10 p.m.

Agdal told “Insider Edition” she “wasn’t much of a dancer.” Not that Davidson would care. Of his date, he declared she is a “15 on a scale of 1-10!”

In his follow-up video, talking about how excited he was about taking Agdal, Davidson said he was ready to roll around all night long. “Well, until 11. That’s my curfew.”

They both tweeted about what a fun night it was. Agdal was particularly effusive. “Had such a great prom night. Thanks Jake Davidson. You were an awesome date.”

For an inside look at the prom and if Davidson and Agdal danced, watch “Inside Edition” Friday (KCAL9, 3:30 p.m.)
