James Van Der Beek helped Justin Timberlake

When Justin Timberlake was underage, actor James Van Der Beek helped him to sneak into a nightclub, by giving him his own identification card.

The star met Justin when he was a member of boyband 'NSync back in the 1990s. This event happened while they were hanging out in Las Vegas on New Year's Eve.

Van Der Beek reveals that Timberlake, who is four years youngernior, was too young to go clubbing, back then, so he covered him up, by lending him his ID to get him past the bouncers.

In a web chat on Huffingtonpost.com, he says: "I was in Vegas one New Year's and somebody came by and said, 'N Sync wants to meet you!'... So, I said, 'Ok.' And I met them and they were so sweet. They were so nice. They were such cool kids and I immediately liked them. I remember that night, we were all going to some club and they were all too young. And so I went in and somehow passed my Id back so that Justin could get in with my Id. Justin used it to get in."

However, the ID wasn't that useful for Timberlake's bandmate. Lance Bass tried to use the same card to sneak into the club, but failed.

Van Der Beek adds: "(Timberlake) then tried to pass it off to (Bass) to get in. By the third time (the bouncers) saw a James Van Der Beek Id, they were like, <Ah, I don't think so, James>".
