'Selfie Kid' Reunites With Justin Timberlake In Boston, Meets Julian Edelman

BOSTON (CBS) – Remember the teen who famously snapped a selfie with Justin Timberlake at this year's Super Bowl halftime show?

Ryan McKenna, of Scituate, had a reunion with Timberlake Wednesday night before his concert at the TD Garden.

They were also joined by New England Patriots receiver Julian Edelman, who made headlines earlier in the day for helping to thwart a potential school shooting.

The 13-year-old recreated his selfie with Timberlake and took one with Edelman.

McKenna also got a shoutout from Timberlake during the concert before "Can't Stop The Feeling."

"This one's for you, Ryan!" he said.

Ryan has said the selfie experience changed his life forever - he went from 400 followers to more than 35,000 in one night.
