"The Face" Of Alabama Photobomber
His rise to fame in the stands might have been faster than that of NBA sensation, Jeremy Lin's. Jack Blankenship's cutout face is spreading like wildfire as he transitioned from the University of Alabama games to the New York Knicks.
The University of Alabama freshman originally made the over-sized cutout of his contorted face to distract opposing teams' players at Alabama games. His face caught attention early on in February during the Alabama vs. Ole Miss basketball game. Its popularity spread throughout his University and prompted the marketing department to print out 200 copies of his face for the game against Tennessee.

On Monday night's game, Jack even flagged down
Beyonce and
Jay-Z who were sitting court side.
He told
Mashable about the experience,
“I waved at them for the longest time and did the face at them too. Finally, I captured their attention. Beyonce laughed and did ‘The Face!’ Soon after, Jay-Z did too!"

He even stopped by NBC's Today Show and had
Al Roker impersonate "The Face." Five steps: flare nostrils, frown, raise eyebrows, make eyes big and inhale. Last night, he also made an appearance on the
Jimmy Fallon show.
