Keke Palmer certainly wasn’t expecting to get a marriage proposal while chatting about her new film at SXSW. But that’s exactly what occurred when a brave fan jumped up from the front row and popped the question in front of an audience—much to the shock of everyone on stage, including Palmer and her co-stars, Demi Moore, Naomi Ackie, and Eiza González. Honestly, who thought that was a good idea?
The moment was nothing short of awkward, as Keke stood there, stunned, having to process what was happening. Keeping her cool, she eventually told the guy she couldn’t accept his proposal since they didn’t know each other, gracefully turning him down. As security rather slowly intervened, the fan lingered in a state of disbelief, leaving the audience laughing nervously at the surreal scene unfolding before them. The chaos of the unexpected proposal will be a memory Keke and the audience won’t soon forget!
