Actress Jessica Biel compares her ‘Candy’ hair to Justin Timberlake’s curls

Jessica Biel said “Bye Bye Bye” to her sleek strands for her role in “Candy.”

The actress plays Texas housewife-turned-murderer Candy Montgomery in the true crime show, set to premiere on Hulu May 9.

And she transformed into the complex character by trading her beach waves for a short, curly ‘do reminiscent of husband Justin Timberlake’s NSYNC-era ringlets.

Biel, 40, told Entertainment Tonight that she and Timberlake couldn’t get over her look for the role.

“We laughed about it because it looked like the early days of those beautiful curls,” she said. “Let’s get serious, he had beautiful curls.”
Justin Timberlake’s ’90s curls were downright iconic.
She added that Timberlake’s mother passed down those good hair genes.

“His mom, now actually has like, current, really cool hipster short curly hair. It’s weird, it kind of resembles both of them. At the same time,” Biel said.

Even her “Candy” co-star Pablo Schreiber noticed the resemblance.

“My first thought when I saw it was, ‘Wow, did you take a picture of your husband to the hair department and say, ‘I want this?’” Biel recalled him asking.
