Michelle Williams in 2023; Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake in 2002Michelle Williams' impression of Justin Timberlake has fans listening to the audio version of Britney Spears' memoir buzzing.
The actress, 43, was selected to narrate the audio edition of Britney Spears' memoir, The Woman in Me. In one scene, Spears, 41, wrote about the "Cry Me a River" singer, 42, trying to impress Ginuwine in New York City — and Williams didn't hold back in her delivery.
“His band *NSYNC was back then what people called ‘so pimp.’ They were white boys but they loved hip-hop. To me, that’s what separated them from the Backstreet Boys, who seemed very consciously to position themselves as a white group,” Spears wrote. “*NSYNC hung out with Black artists. Sometimes I thought they tried too hard to fit in."
“One day J and I were in New York, going to parts of town I had never been to before. Walking our way was a guy with a huge, blinged-out medallion. He was flanked by two giant security guards," she added, before Williams leaned into the interpretation.
"J got all excited and said so loud, ‘Oh yeah, fo’ shiz fo’ shiz, Ginuwine, what’s up homie?’ After Ginuwine walked away, Felicia [Spears' assistant] did an impression of J ... J wasn’t even embarrassed. He just took it and looked at her like, ‘OK, f— you Fe.’”
After the book's release on Tuesday, fans started pulling the clip and posting it on social media with hilarious commentary.
