An audio clip of Michelle Williams reading from Britney Spears's memoir is going viral, particularly for her impression of Justin Timberlake.
The five-time Oscar nominee is the voice behind Spears already hit book" The Woman In Me."
In the memoir, Spears recalls how Timberlake's group NSYNC distinguished itself from the Backstreet Boys by hanging out with Black artists and generally being a group of "white boys who loved hip hop."
She recalls, "Sometimes, I think they tried too hard to fit in. One day, J and I were in New York. 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?'"
The audio clip of Williams impersonating Timberlake has people in stitches with comments like
"Michelle Williams is doing performance art here"
" (white) Michelle Williams doing an impression of Britney doing an impression of Justin Timberlake doing an impression of a Black person - this is art."
