Jessica Biel and Conan O’Brien appeared to be on the same page when it came to engaging in witty banter during an unforgettable exchange on Conan in 2012. After marrying Justin Timberlake, the then-newly-married actress showed up at the show and playfully reminded O’Brien of their prior encounter.
The comedian, writer, and television host received a visit from the actress, who was promoting her movie Playing for Keeps in 2012. The initial thing that she said as she settled down was, “I am a married woman now,” and thus, he can’t “flirt” with her like he did “last time”.
Her comment elicited laughter and showed off her charming and quick wit. For the unversed, Biel and Timberlake, who had emerged as one of Hollywood’s most alluring duos since 2007, made their engagement official in 2011. A year later, they organized an exquisite wedding in Fasano, Italy, and tied the knot.
Jessica Biel’s Hilarious Banter with Conan O’Brien After Marrying Justin Timberlake
Ever since Jessica Biel chose to marry Justin Timberlake, Conan O’Brien has been deprived of the opportunity to flirt with the actress, just like he did last time on his talk show. The host and Biel, however, seemed to remember the same events in slightly different ways. Dating back to 2012, she appeared on Conan to promote the 2012 film Playing for Keeps. The two had a hilarious conversation that was full of lighthearted flirting and had the audience in stitches.
However, with her marital status changing, Biel made sure to remind O’Brien of her newfound commitment. As she returned to Conan after tying the knot with Timberlake, she amiably mentioned the host’s playful antics from their prior encounter. In that endearing way of hers, she cautioned him wryly:
“I am a married woman now. You can’t flirt with me like you did last time..You got that clear that.. You can’t flirt like you did last time.”
O’Brien himself and the audience both burst out laughing at this, showcasing the amazing chemistry between the two. This resulted in two distinct video segments telling the same story in very different ways. In the first, the host was seen throwing himself at Timberlake’s wife frantically, and in the second, the Hitchcock star was seen jumping across O’Brien’s desk and insisting that she had to have him.
Will Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake’s Ship Sink?
It seems that split rumors about Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel have been around for years. But there are rumors that their 12-year marriage may be coming to an end. As stated in the Life & Style:
“Rumors are swirling that he and Jessica are headed for a split.”
The couple still seems to be in love with one another, but their marriage does not seem to have the same spark. Despite undergoing numerous couple therapy sessions, the outcomes remained dismal. As per the insider:
“Though they do love each other, all of the couples therapy they’ve undergone simply isn’t fixing some of their underlying issues.”
The report revealed details of the couple’s business dealings, including their real estate maneuvering. The informant added,
“Friends say it’s a sign they’re getting their finances in order. At one point, they retreated to another home, in Montana, in the hopes of getting away from drama and starting over, but you can’t run away from your problems.”
Meanwhile, Timberlake had previously provided Biel with reasons to be angry. There have been numerous challenges for the two along the way. Even though allegations of infidelity surfaced in 2010, the actor came under fire in 2019 when it was revealed (via StyleCaster) that he had gotten too close to Palmer’s costar, Alisha Wainwright, on a night out in New Orleans.
But after the photos went viral, the father of two issued an apology. While acknowledging that his actions at the time were inappropriate, he insisted (via Life & Style).
“I regret my behavior. I apologise to my amazing wife and family for putting them through such an embarrassing situation.”
Working-wise, we last saw Biel in the television miniseries Candy, which was a biographical crime drama series helmed by Nick Antosca and Robin Veith. In the show, the actress assumed the role of Candy Montgomery, a real-life person who was charged with killing her neighbor Betty Gore (played by Melanie Lynskey) with an axe in 1980s Texas.
