Justin Timberlake's Mom Is In His "Can't Stop The Feeling!" Video & She Totally Steals The Show

March 2024 · 2 minute read

We so often swoon over romantic celebrity relationships, but in my humble opinion, we don't give enough attention to the equally as adorable familial ones. Making my point ever so clear is my forever crush, Justin Timberlake, who continually puts his close relationship with his mom front and center, regardless of how much fame he's achieved. His latest act of devotion? Timberlake's mom, Lynn Bomar Harless, is in his new video for "Can't Stop The Feeling!" And, you guys, it is just about the sweetest thing ever.

This music video is rampant with celebrity cameos. It'd have been really easy to just leave it at that and to let Timberlake have the spotlight in his particular scenes. But that's not how he rolls. Instead, JT's scenes are celebratory, full of animators from the movie Trolls (the song is featured on the soundtrack), as well as JT's mom. Sure, she doesn't get her own segment like the stars of the Trolls movie do, but that doesn't matter. She somehow still managed to steal the show from everyone, including her legendary son. An added bonus? She got to whip her hair back and forth to show everyone where JT got his enviable curls from.

If you want to spot her in the music video, don't worry, it isn't hard. She's simply the woman jamming out to the right of Timberlake with the tie-dye looking, fuchsia-colored shirt and, yes, blonde, curly hair.

But what fun would it be if we didn't highlight some of Harless' best moments? Here are just a few instances of JT's mom in the video that show where the singer got his vibrant spirit from.

Starting The Music Video Off Right

Movin' and groovin'.

When She Commanded Attention From The Background

The camera clearly loves her.

When She Showed Off Her Nonchalant Swag

YASSS.

When She Shared A Sweet Lip Lock

Get it, girl.

When They Danced Pretty Much Identically Without Realizing It

I love this so much.

Can we nominate Lynn for a Grammy for this? Because she deserves it.
