Michelle Williams deserves a Grammy for her impression of Justin Timberlake.
The award-winning actress was selected as the narrator for Britney Spears’ new memoir ‘The Woman In Me’ and it’s clear she took the role seriously.
Though the book tells many heart-wrenching stories about Britney’s life and career when fans reached the parts where Michelle was to voice Justin Timberlake their tears soon turned to laughter.
In one chapter, the ‘Toxic’ singer recalls the moment when she and her ex ran into R&B singer Ginuwine and Justin took it upon himself to change his accent – which Michelle tried out to keep the story accurate.
In the viral clip, the 43-year-old reads about the stars’ meeting in New York, in which she claims: “One day J [Justin] 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. J got all excited and said so loud ‘Oh yeah, fo’ shiz fo’ shiz, Ginuwine, what’s up homie?'”
Britney claimed that Justin’s boyband NSYNC, who were white hip-hop fans, “tried too hard to fit in” with the Black artists they hung out with trying to adapt the way they speak.
“J wasn’t even embarrassed,” Britney added, explaining that her assistant mocked her ex after the interaction.
People couldn’t get enough of Michelle’s commitment to the bit, calling for her to win awards for her performance.
“Honestly Michelle Williams imitating Justin Timberlake is just amazing,” penned one, while another added: “Michelle William’s Grammy for best spoken word album secured.”
