Timbers goes to the movies – and it means he’ll be closer to
us than ever!
Brace yourselves – Justin Timberlake is set to put his pop
career on hold. But, don’t cry cos the good news it he’s moving to Northern
Ireland to launch a film career. Our beloved Trousersnake is in talks to star in
new flick ‘Closing the Ring’ with Orlando Bloom, Colin Hanks, Mena
Suvari and Maggie Gyllenhaal.
A movie insider says the Memphis-born mover is ‘very keen and
excited’ to sign on the dotted line and is desperate to star in a movie before
the end of the year.
Shooting, due to start in September, will take place in
Northern Ireland (and he’ll be there, setting hearts-a-flutter for at least five
weeks).
The WWII film’s about a US serviceman who, before being shot
down in Belfast asks a local lad to return a ring to his girlfriend back home.
Although it’s not clear who Justin will play, it’s likely he’ll be swapping his
trackie for a uniform. We’re betting Justin eclipses Britney’s acting effort. So
anyway, looks like it’s a race to the Ryanair website...
How to stalk him
Where will he stay? At Sarah Arnold’s house, or if he really
wants to, he could follow in the footsteps of Danni Minogue and stay at 10
Square. The five-star hotel boasts 23 luxury rooms, a swanky restaurant and
private bar.
Where will he eat? When Timbers gets peckish, he can fill up
on haute cuisine at Michelin-starred Deane’s, where a two-course menu of dishes
such as risotto of roast scallops and crisped salmon and couscous costs £29.
Where will he party? After filling up on fancy nosh, JT can
quaff the night away in the swanky surrounds of celeb hang-out Irene &
Nan’s, where if you were lucky enough to pull him, a strawberry mojito costs a
whopping £4.
