Justin Timberlake will perform bone-jarring stunts for a Pepsi commercial that will premiere during Superbowl XLII on February 3, 2008. The last time Timberlake appeared during a Superbowl it ended badly. Timberlake and Janet Jackson were widely criticized for their R-rated act during which Timberlake tore off part of Janet’s corset. Timberlake later apologized to millions of Superbowl fans, but Jackson has always maintained her “wardrobe malfunction” stance.

Timberlake fully insured himself after agreeing to perform all the stunts. He was rigged to wires, lifted into the air and spun around, to simulate being hit by a car. Timberlake was then dragged along the road on a detached car door, during which he lost his shoe and had to hobble off set.
