In the realm of senior photos, creativity can often take a backseat to traditional poses. Sure, some students find clever ways to stand out—think shots by a window, a few with plants, or maybe even a pet or sports gear. But how about a celebrity cameo? That’s where things get interesting.
Seventeen-year-old Mia Thompson from Newmam, California, is an avid fan of Netflix’s hit series Stranger Things. In a stroke of genius, she reached out to actor Jacob Ellis, who plays the beloved character Police Chief Jim Hopper, via Twitter. She cleverly inquired about the possibility of posing together for her senior pictures.
To Mia’s delight, Jacob noticed her tweet amidst countless others and set the stakes: 25,000 retweets. But there was a catch—he insisted on wearing Mia’s school sweatshirt and holding a trombone. Given the unpredictable nature of social media, Mia’s post quickly gained traction, surpassing the required retweets. True to his word, Jacob didn’t shy away from the challenge.
“Wow, the internet is truly powerful. Friends don’t lie,” he tweeted, inviting Mia to message him and arrange their unique photo session.
The outcome? A series of hilarious and memorable photos that have since delighted fans online. Mia later shared a clip on Instagram, expressing her disbelief: “I never thought Jacob would actually respond to me! It’s surreal that this whole thing happened because of retweets.”
Even the photographer chimed in humorously, tweeting, “I don’t usually shoot senior portraits, but when I do, it’s for someone who gets 25k retweets and an actor willing to hold a trombone!”
