Timberlake injury stalls filming on thriller

Justin Timberlake’s latest film has been postponed, after the star suffered a leg injury.

The pop star turned actor was trying to do a stunt for 'Now' (formerly known as 'I’m.Mortal') when he injured his left leg, and production has been halted to give him time to recover.

“Justin Timberlake sustained a muscle injury to his calf on the set of Andrew Niccol’s thriller 'Now'. Production has taken a brief hiatus and will resume shortly,” the production company told E! Online.

Justin, who has been spotted hobbling around on crutches, insisted his injury isn’t too serious.

“My calf, it’s not that bad – it’ll be fine. It’s not irreversibly damaged,” he told Entertainment Tonight.
