If you’re into a celebrity or social media star, I’m sure there are several moments in your life where you’ve considered “sliding into their DM’s” with a question, request, or for a date.
But, if you’re like me, your DM goes unanswered and lost in the millions of messages they receive on the regular–it hurts, but we all move on. One woman, however, proved that sometimes, DMing your favorite celebrity can completely pay off.
Sylvia Wilson, a 21-year-old junior at Temple University heard that Michael B. Jordan was filming on her campus and decided to take advantage of the situation by sliding into his DM’s and asking if she could buy him a smoothie–and take a photo with him.
The actor was kind enough to not only respond but also go out of his way to meet up with the student to get a photo with her.
Not for nothing, Sylvia is absolutely gorgeous.
Infatuated with this look. Thank you @Makeupbyjaya 🌹!!! pic.twitter.com/fwKQtiLyhR

He was so sweet and nice. He was more than happy to take pictures with me and my friends that came with me!
Sylvia’s confidence has inspired thousands on Twitter, who are celebrating her accomplishment and showing them that nothing is impossible.
Getting a pic with a fave is now known as pulling a sylvia! I DONT MAKE THE RULES I ENDORSE THEM

We have the same first and middle name, so I feel like this is a victory for both of us. Lol! 😂
