Justin Timberlake's Injury Shuts Down Production on 'Now'

By Sarah Crow Posted Dec 6th 2010 04:00PM

Justin Timberlake is known for his fancy footwork, but that didn't keep the star from suffering a leg injury on the set of his latest film.

The 'Social Network' star was performing a stunt on the set of his latest film when he injured his calf muscle, making him unable to work.

Timberlake, who has been shooting 'Now,' a thriller by 'Gattaca' writer/director Andrew Niccol, is using crutches until his injury heals, forcing the film's production company, Strike Entertainment, to temporarily stop filming.

According to an E!Online source, "[Timberlake] hasn't heard anything about the MRI results, but they're freezing production until he's off crutches and able to act again."

Timberlake, who stars opposite Amanda Seyfried and Olivia Wilde in the futuristic film, hasn't been completely immobilized by his injury, however. The star joined his 'Social Network' castmates for a question and answer session at Hollywood's ArcLight theater last week.

The production company for 'Now' assured fans that the movie is merely taking a "brief hiatus" while Timberlake heals, which film insiders say should take approximately two weeks.

I wish the best for Justin. I think everyone can agree that he is one of the most talented performers of the last 40 years, not to mention one of the best looking men in America. He is sexy in a way that appeals to men, as well as women. With his looks alone, he was never going to remain poor and unknown. Wearing a tuxedo or a pair of speedos, he is a star who was born to be looked at and admired!

I love Justin Timberlake and I am old enough to be his mom. I think he is incredibly talented.
Can someone please tell me why AOL cannot stop these idiots from advertising their web sites. It's the same people, it is so annoying.

He sure looks a lot like Georgie boy Michaels and Ricky Martina.

I agree, but it's impossible that he could be their offspring!
