Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon are two forces that should not be reckoned with! While Jimmy Fallon began his career in acting, comedy, and landing a permanent role on 'Saturday Night Live', Justin had a much more different rise to fame. The star, who began on the Disney show, 'The Mickey Mouse Club', transitioned over to music, leading N'Sync throughout the 90s, before breaking out into acting yet again.
In the early 2000s, Justin and Jimmy had first met after Timberlake was invited to host 'Saturday Night Live'. Considering the two share quite the same sense of humor, and have had several scenes together, it was only fitting for them to form one of the best Hollywood bromances in history. Nearly 20 years later, the two are closer than ever and have come to be one of the most prolific industry friendships of all time.
Justin & Jimmy's Bromance
Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon are without a doubt two of the most popular public figures when it comes to the entertainment business. While we know them as musicians, actors, and talk show hosts, the duo became a unit before either of them reaching international success. Justin, who had just broken off from his boyband, 'NSync, and Jimmy Fallon, who was only known for his role on 'SNL', banded together to create what has since become the best bromance in Hollywood.
While their first time working together was on the set of 'Saturday Night Live', their first-ever encounter was at none other than the MTV Video Music Awards in 2002. Fallon was hosting the award show for the first time, and Justin was performing as a solo artist, also for the first time. Fallon remembers the moment the two wished one another luck, claiming that they were "like each other's rabbit foots", Fallon said. The duo would then find themselves working together on 'SNL' in a skit called 'The Barry Gibb Talk Show', which became a recurring segment for years.
'Saturday Night Live', also led to several music and dance numbers that both Jimmy and Justin would partake in, further forming the twos bond. Their relationship continued to flourish throughout the 2000s, and by 2013, Jimmy Fallon found himself presenting Justin the Video Vanguard Award at the VMA's that year. The two had shared several moments off-camera, which only made fans fall in love with their friendship even more.
One moment that always stands out is none other than their 2015 visit to the US Open. Both Jimmy and Justin attended together, however, it was when Beyonce's, 'Single Ladies', came on that the two stole the entire show. Both Justin and Jimmy began dancing in the crowd, showing off their moves without a single care in the world! If there is one friendship the remains superior, it is certainly this one!
