Justin Timberlake is saying “bye, bye, bye” to the restrictions imposed by the Hollywood actors’ strike.
The 42-year-old pop star stepped out with his fellow *NSYNC bandmates — and with wife Jessica Biel — for the premiere of “Trolls Band Together” in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
The event provided the first outing for Lance Bass, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick to promote the flick in public, with the strike having ended earlier this month.
The “Mirrors” singer — along with Kirkpatrick, 52; Chasez, 47; Fatone, 46; and Bass, 44 — posed for photographs on the red carpet together at the TCL Chinese Theatre.
In addition to voicing characters in the animated movie, the fivesome have contributed a new single, “Better Place,” to its soundtrack, as was announced one day after they made a surprise appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards in September.
Timberlake’s co-stars Anna Kendrick, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Eric André, Ron Funches, Camila Cabello and Zooey Deschanel were also in attendance at the event.
Timberlake and Biel’s cozy appearance, meanwhile, is their first public appearance since the release of Britney Spears’ bombshell memoir, “The Woman in Me.”
The “Toxic” hitmaker, 41, dropped her book late last month and made numerous revelations about her past relationship with the Tennessee native.
Among the stories she penned, Spears revealed she had an abortion at age 19, getting the procedure because Timberlake didn’t want to be a father at the time.
“I loved Justin so much. I always expected us to have a family together one day. This would just be much earlier than I’d anticipated,” she writes of her ex, whom she dated from 1998 to 2002. “But Justin definitely wasn’t happy about the pregnancy. He said we weren’t ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were way too young.
“I’m sure people will hate me for this, but I agreed not to have the baby. I don’t know if that was the right decision,” she continues. “If it had been left up to me alone, I never would have done it. And yet Justin was so sure that he didn’t want to be a father.”
Following the revelation, fans believed that Spears’ 2003 music video for her song “Everytime” alluded to her abortion. The sad ballad’s video shows one young woman dying in a hospital while another gives birth in the room next door.
Timberlake allegedly cheated on Spears during their romance and broke up with Spears via text in 2002 — just minutes before she went to film her video for “Overprotected (The Darkchild Remix).”
She wrote that she was “devastated” and wanted to stop making music after they called it quits. “I was comatose in Louisiana, and he was happily running around Hollywood,” she wrote. The text message allegedly read: “It’s over!!!”
Timberlake has yet to address Spears’ claims, but according to an insider, the musician is “not OK” with what she published.
He and Biel, 41, jetted off to Mexico after the book’s release.
“Justin has not reached out to Britney at all about any of this, and he is not going to because there is nothing he can say to her,” a source told the Daily Mail.
“Justin is not at all happy about what has come out in this book,” the source added. “Doing this book has given Britney life, and she really doesn’t care who is offended by anything in it because it is what happened. She was there and lived through it. No one can say anything. She has got this all out of her and is moving on now.”
