Jack Black sent a sweet message to Australian school students after they invited him to watch them perform School Of Rock.
The Hollywood actor, 54, was invited by students from Melbourne’s Ringwood Secondary College to watch their live show version of his smash hit 2003 film.
The students extended Jack an invite to attend their rehearsals after learning that he is soon set to arrive in Melbourne for his band Tenacious D’s Australian tour.
Their online plea quickly went viral and even garnered the attention of Jack himself as he sent the students a heartfelt video message in response.
He gushed: ‘Ringwood Second College, you’re doing School Of Rock?! I love it! love it, so touched, so moved by your video and the fact that you’re going to rock.

The actor, 54, was invited by students from Melbourne’s Ringwood Secondary College to watch them rehearse for their school production as they sent him an Instagram message
‘You know it’s been 20 years since I made that movie? It’s still my favourite movie I ever did and I love that you guys are going to rock it.’
However, he went on to tell them that he sadly wouldn’t be able to attend their rehearsals because of his busy touring schedule.
Bursting into song, he added: ‘But I just wanted to remind you that there’s no way you can stop the School Of Rock!’
Ringwood Secondary College’s students had invited Jack to watch them rehearse School Of Rock: The Musical in an Instagram video shared earlier this week.
The school’s production director Lauren Rowe explained on Sammy J’s ABC show how they put the invite out after a student realised Jack would be in Melbourne at the same time as their rehearsals.
They were left blown away when Jack – who starred in 2003’s School Of Rock (pictured) – replied to their callout, sending them a gushing message but unfortunately declining the invite
In a video shared by the school, the students said: ‘We’d like to formally invite you to pop by one of our rehearsals during the time you’re here so we can give you some unfinished homework as part of that rock assignment.’
The students went on to ‘beg’ Jack to attend as they asked him to ‘grace’ them with his presence, before ending their message by chanting his name.
The school were left blown away by Jack’s response as they shared his video message to their Instagram page, sending their followers wild.
Jack’s band Tenacious D are set to take to the stage for a sold-out show at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on July 20 as part of their Spicy Meatball Tour.
The band will also perform in Sydney, Newcastle, Brisbane and Adelaide, before heading over to Auckland and Wellington in New Zealand at the end of July to wrap up their tour Down Under.
