Britney Jean Spears, at the ripe old age of 34, is getting a biopic of her life. Filming has just wrapped on the scene where, post-shaving of her own head, she goes after a paparazzo (who most likely had spent a much longer time going after her) with an umbrella. Well, she goes after a whole bunch of paparazzi, not just the one.
Away from and speculation on how the producers handled this incredibly sensitive matter, here’s how *NSync have been cast!
Any nineties nostalgia devotee - or, shock horror, someone who’s old enough to remember that hallowed period of pop - will remember Britney and Justin Timberlake’s relationship. And what was so special about it is that Britney and the boys were on tour together for a while. To properly depict that time, the *NSync boys have been cast as follows:
Left to right? Chris Kirkpatrick (who actually looks a bit more like his Backstreet Boys equivalent, Howie D), Lance Bass (he’s got a very kindly face), Justin Timberlake (see: ramen for hair and a sad brow), Joey Fatone (perhaps a scarier version) and JC Chasez (who might as well be Chris Klein).
A representative for Britney told MailOnline: ‘Britney Spears will not be contributing in any way, shape or form to the Lifetime biopic, nor does it have her blessing.’
We think that might be a little bit more to do with the perceived opportunism in depicting a woman’s mental breakdown rather than Britney’s disgust at casting *NSync so inaccurately, but let’s hope it’s a bit of both.
