Dad sits next to pop star Nick Jonas on flight – then goes viral for THIS reason.

The passenger was flying first class on a Delta Airlines flight when he noticed there was a lot of commotion surrounding the passenger next to him.

And to find out why there was a huge deal on his flight, he texted his daughter.

The dad said: “Who is Nick Jonas?”

Not understanding her old man’s random pop-culture question, the text exchange started out very calmly.

Deanna Hall, a student from the University of South Florida, replied: “A famous singer. I love him. He was a part of the Jonas Brothers.”

But when her dad replied that the heart-throb was casually sitting next to him on the flight – things escalated very quickly.

She screamed through a text: “TAKE A PIC WITH HIM. TELL HIM I LOVE HIM.

“GET AN AUTOGRAPH.”

Deanna – who was a big fan of the Jonas Brothers growing up – posted the text exchange on Twitter, along with her dad’s selfie with Nick – and the Internet loved it.

One person tweeted: “The pic of you dad and Nick Jonas is PRECIOUS.”

Another said: “Your dad is so pure. I love this.”

But unfortunately for Deanna – her dad was unable to secure an autograph for her.

We think your dad did pretty well all things considered, Deanna! Good job, Dad!
