Justin Timberlake talks a little ‘Bad Teacher’

// June 6th, 2011 // No Comments » // What's Poppin

Justin Timberlake is such a sucialicious we all wanna see him get down and dirty with Cameron Diaz in their upcoming comedy, “Bad Teacher,” and although the sexy pair dated off-screen for nearly four years, Justin says filming the physical scene with his ex wasn’t at all awkward.

“I didn’t look at it like that,” Justin explained of the raunchy reunion . “We obviously know each other, but I looked at it as a really funny, funny scene that I’ve never seen done before.”

While getting back in the action with Cameron may not have been strange, the “SexyBack” singer said filming closeups – by himself! — for the steamy scene was brutal.

“What I actually remember was, you know, they got to my closeup for that scene, so I was just kind of by myself — which is hard to imitate in real life,” Justin said with a laugh. “Jake [Kasdan], the director, kept yelling out, ‘OK, more contorted! Uglier face! Flare your nostrils! Curl your lip up…more!’ And I’m trying not to laugh.

“I saw it [played] back one time and I’m really emotionally damaged,” he added.

Ah, he’s such a kidder.

By Casper Martinez
Vin Diesel and Paul Walker lead a reunion of returning all-stars from every chapter of the explosive franchise built on speed in Fast Five. In this installment, former cop Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker) partners with ex-con Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) on the opposite side of the law. Dwayne Johnson joins returning favorites Jordana Brewster, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Tyrese Gibson, Sung Kang, Gal Gadot, Matt Schulze, Tego Calderon and Don Omar for this ultimate high-stakes race. Since Brian and Mia Toretto (Brewster) broke Dom out of custody, they’ve blown across many borders to elude authorities. Now backed into a corner in Rio de Janeiro, they must pull one last job in order to gain their freedom. As they assemble their elite team of top racers, the unlikely allies know their only shot of getting out for good means confronting the corrupt businessman who wants them dead. But he’s not the only one on their tail. Hard-nosed federal agent Luke Hobbs (Johnson) never misses his target. When he is assigned to track down Dom and Brian, he and his strike team launch an all-out assault to capture them. But as his men tear through Brazil, Hobbs learns he can’t separate the good guys from the bad. Now, he must rely on his instincts to corner his prey…before someone else runs them down first.
