Justin Timberlake seems to be the master of mass appeal, which frankly I don’t see. The man brought sexy back, but I just think he is too preppy to be sexy. Sorry JT, you’ll just have to stay with Jessica Biel, you’ll never win me over. I’m sure your heart is breaking.
Timberlake told a story that definitely detracts from whatever sexiness some people perceive in him. He says he wet his pants when Michael Jordan told him he liked his music.
Recounting the incident, the ‘SexyBack’ singer said that the basketball star was one of his biggest role models, and he could not contain his excitement when Jordan told him he was a fan of his music.
“When I was young… I wanted to be Michael Jordan. It was weird, I heard (Gary Wright song) Dreamweaver in my head when he walked in the room,” Contactmusic quoted him, as saying.
“He was like, `Hey man, my kids and I, we’re big fans of your music,’ and I was like, `That’s cool…’ Up until the point where he walked away and I realised I had peed a little,” he added.
As someone who needs to go to the bathroom when nervous (except in Australia we call it a dunny, and it’s often located outside), I can see how maybe you’d wet your pants when you met an idol. Which is making me very, very nervous about meeting Reese Witherspoon, although she’s probably had to clean her children’s ‘little accidents’ up a few times so I think it wouldn’t phase her.
Fortunately for Justin, he only did a little pee, not enough to be noticeable. If he’d kept his mouth shut, we’d all be none the wiser. I wonder if he had made a big gushing mess if it would have made Michael Jordan more or less of a fan? A little urination makes for an amusing anecdote, but pissing all over the carpet is uncouth.
