Justin Timberlake is seen fawning over a Janet Jackson poster years before THAT Super Bowl scandal - as shock Netflix doc Dirty Pop unearths cringe-worthy clip of the popstar as a teen

The clip features in Netflix docuseries, Dirty Pop: The Boy Band Scam, which charts the rise and fall of late music mogul and disgraced businessman Lou Pearlman.

Unearthed footage of a teenage Justin Timberlake shows the star gushing over a poster of Janet Jackson, years before the pair made headlines across the world thanks to a now-infamous 2004 Super Bowl incident. As Timberlake's bandmate Chris Kirkpatrick recalled the formation of 'NSYNC in 1995, he explained that the young musicians - including fellow members Joey Fatone, Lance Bass, and JC Chasez – had all been living together in a house Pearlman had rented when the band first formed. The image was taken by Yuri Elizondo in 1993 and sees Jackson showcasing her toned midriff in a high-neck, black leather crop top and light denim jeans, while she looks off into the distance with loose waves framing her face.
