Listen, all foot sizes are absolutely fine and lovely, but if Justin Timberlake [1] told me I had big feet, I'd (1) never forget it and (2) probably curl my toes into too-small shoes for the rest of my life, so I very much understand why Mandy Moore [2] felt "emotionally scarred" by that exact experience. Back in 2016, Mandy appeared on The Late Late Show [3] and told James Corden what it was like to be a young singer opening for the Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC in the late '90s. One day, she said, she was hanging out backstage with some of the dancers, freaking out that Justin Timberlake was there (#relatable), and he told her she had "big feet for a girl." That's not such a big deal, but when you're 15, everything's a big deal, so cue the insecurities, right?
Well, fast forward a couple years, and Mandy has a much happier ending to the story. She recently sat down with Howard Stern and elaborated on what happened, saying that as a teenage girl who was "like, madly in love" with JT, she'd been crushed at the time. Soon after her late-night interview made headlines, though, Justin reached out to talk to her [4]. "He's apologised since, though. He's such a lovely guy," Mandy said. "He seeked me out and he was like, 'I just want you to know I had no idea what I was saying. I was probably trying to flirt with you, and I understand how words can have an impact.' And I was like, 'Justin, sir, you just played the Super Bowl. I'm fine.'"
As if you needed another reason to love Justin Timberlake [5], right?
