Justin’s A Real Guy’s Guy!

Film fans take note: Justin Timberlake is set to appear in one of Guy Ritchie’s upcoming films.
The pair apparently made the deal over a glass of expensive whiskey (or two) at Ritchie’s Mayfair pub, The Punch Bowl, on Monday night, and with Guy planning a big-screen version of Guys and Dolls surely there’s a role with Justin’s name all over it…
Let’s see, he can sing, dance and act – perfect. (Which is more than we can say for the last pop star he stuck in a leading role. Swept Away anyone?)
I’m told Ritchie’s also got a re-make of war film Wild Geese in the pipeline and at the moment his star is on the rise again. Rock n rolla brought him back into the spotlight with good ccritical acclaim and Sherlock Holmes is one of the most-anticipated films of the autumn.
Now, with an A-lister like Timberlake on board such a collaboration could well hit box-office gold for Richie. Which isn’t to say there isn’t anything in it for Justin. This could well be the platform needed to give JT the chance to cement his acting credentials in a cool, but gritty flick – if Guy Ritchie’s previous efforts are anything to go by.
And as for Guy working with one of his ex-wife Madonna’s friends, I reckon this is bound to get right up her Madgesty’s nose. Win/win to Guy!
