Justin Timberlake and Lance Bass were secretly very happy about their fellow NSYNC bandmates’ cut cameos from Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones.
Timberlake says he and Bass were “so butthurt” when they learned that Joey Fatone, JC Chasez, and Chris Kirkpatrick had been tapped for small Jedi roles without them after they went to Lucasfilm’s Skywalker Ranch and Industrial Light & Magic in the early 2000s. (Neither Timberlake nor Bass were present at the tour.)
When asked on the latest episode of Hot Ones to confirm rumors that they had been cast for the guest roles, Timberlake quipped, “Now we’re getting to the nitty-gritty questions.”
“A few of us, yeah,” Chasez confirmed, adding that the chosen trio had to train for some sword choreography.
