Justin Timberlake and Mandy Moore have a long history together.
MANDY Moore has forgiven Justin Timberlake but hasn’t forgotten what he said to her back in 1999.
At the time, Moore was a 15-year-old pop star and was touring with the Backstreet Boys and ‘NSync.
“I’m a terrible dancer, but I had background dancers at the time because that’s what you did, and I remember distinctly one time walking backstage, and I didn’t really see much of the guys because I was the measly opening act,†Moore said to The Late Late Show host, James Corden.
“Nobody cared about me. But Justin Timberlake was there and somehow there was a conversation about feet or foot size. They were comparing shoe [size]. And all the background dancers and the ‘NSync background dancers and my background dancers [were there], and I stroll up at 15, like, freaking out that Justin Timberlake is there.â€

And that’s when it happened. Timberlake said something to Moore that would haunt her for years to come.
“He was like, ‘You have big feet for a girl’,†Moore said to Corden.
“I’m sure he doesn’t remember this at all but I was so impressionable, and I thought the world of him and he was on a pedestal. I mean, 16 years later it stuck with me, so it really scarred me emotionally.â€
Oh, and in case you’re wondering, Moore’s feet are a size 10.
