It only took five years of marriage, but Jessica Biel has finally made an appearance in one of Justin Timberlake's music videos. Biel's first cameo takes place in the video for her husband's new song, "Man of the Woods," which was released on Friday. In it, Timberlake skips, jumps, and dances through the woods—incidentally, a great way to break an ankle and/or neck—on his way to meet up with Biel. After the pair take a shot of tequila, they hop in a rowboat before being magically transported to the dance floor inside a rustic tavern. Biel waltzes around the room with her husband and then—after a brief dance break for JT and an army of woodsy JT clones—dances off into a field, arm-in-arm with her husband.
Earlier this week, while going track-by-track through his new album Man of the Woods with Beats 1's Zane Lowe, Timberlake opened up about the romantic inspiration for the song. "There are other songs on the album, videos that I feel require a different level of performance, but that one was the first song written for the album that was written specifically about [Biel]," he said of the song, which includes lyrics like, "How do I ever explain what I've got with you? / I try to find the words, but they hide and that's the truth / And nobody ever will understand what we do / There's only one, me and you." Timberlake continued, "There’s two love letters on the album. 'Man of the Woods' is my love letter to her, and 'Young Man' is my love letter to my son. And so it just felt like nothing else would do."
The Super Bowl LII halftime performer also spoke about how happy he was to star alongside Biel in the music video for the song. "You hear all these stories about people who work together that are, you know, bonded otherwise, and it was so easy," he said. "I actually hope we get to work together again on more stuff, you know, because having her around, she's such an influence on the album. And so in that song being so special, it just felt like a great moment for us to share. And I just wanted it to be honest."
Biel, who married Timberlake in Italy in October 2012 and welcomed son Silas in April 2015, wrote a sweet birthday message to her husband earlier this week. "A picture says a thousand words. And thank goodness because there aren't enough to express ALL the aspects of my love and respect for you. Here's to a spectacular year ahead. I'm so proud of all you've accomplished and all that is ahead for you. [P]lus you're a super hot dad. A ninja dad. A kiddie teeth brushing, Jedi sleep mind-tricking, intimidating dad-voice disciplining SUPER HOT DAD. I love you, you hot dad[...] I'm here, right by your side, OG fan girl #1. Happy birthday, my beloved. Now go crush it this weekend at SB LII," she captioned a photo of the couple laughing together on Instagram.
