Justin Timberlake, despite his superstar status, found himself amused and humbled by a single comment on TikTok.
In late April, the renowned singer shared a TikTok video featuring himself and Jessica Biel enjoying a date night at a SZA concert. Among the comments, a user named David expressed his ignorance about Justin’s identity but complimented Jessica Biel’s resemblance, offering congratulations. 🤩 👍.”
About a week later, Justin Timberlake decided to respond to David’s comment with a playful TikTok video. Sporting shades, he lowered them dramatically in a disapproving manner, while expressing his response in an exaggerated, exasperated tone, saying, “Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.”
This light-hearted exchange between Justin Timberlake and a TikTok user quickly gained attention and entertained many of their fans.
In a light-hearted manner, Justin Timberlake jokingly embraced a new title in the caption of his TikTok video, declaring himself “Jessica Biel’s Boyfriend.” He committed to the playful bit by even updating his bio to reflect the humorous claim.
Fans of Timberlake eagerly joined in on the joke in the comments section. One fan humorously exclaimed, “Wait a second, I thought you were Justin Timberlake! You bear an uncanny resemblance to him!” Another fan jokingly questioned the origin of their connection, asking if Timberlake had ties to the Backstreet Boys, saying, “How did you meet Jessica Biel??? Are you friends with the Backstreet Boys or something? Mind-blowing!”
Interestingly, one fan admitted to not recognizing Timberlake initially when the TikTok went viral, confessing, “I didn’t see the name and thought this was some random dad.”
Notably, recognizable names also chimed in on the joke. Football player Isaac Rochell, married to renowned TikToker Allison Kuch, warmly welcomed Timberlake to the “+1 life.” Comedian Frank Caliendo amusingly acknowledged that Timberlake looked “so familiar…”
Fortunately for Timberlake, he isn’t just Biel’s boyfriend; he is, in fact, her husband. The couple has been together since 2007 and tied the knot in October 2012, solidifying their longstanding relationship.
