Nsync's Most Embarrassing Moments
JC
Onstage: "Once we were doing a show in Switzerland, and it was the last day
of the tour and everything was chaotic. My fly broke, it was wide open, and
all you could see were my whities. And I didn't know because I was concentrating
on the song, and it was wide open for two songs. Finally, somebody in the band
told me it was broken, and I looked down and it was split wide open. So I ran
backstage, and they didn't have a spare pair of pants. We were just starting
a song we do where the band and us trade places, and we play the instruments
and the band sings the song . . . kind of as a practical joke on the audience.
So I covered my lower half with the bass guitar. After that I ran backstage
and they pinned my fly shut. But it was embarrassing to have my fly wide open
for two whole songs and nobody bothered to tell me."
Offstage: "My first time going skiing I knocked down a rack of skis and
crashed into a cabin at the bottom of the hill, where the lifts are. They were
having a ski competition that day. So I crashed in front of all the pros,
knocked over everything. That was pretty dumb."
Lance
Onstage: "Over in Germany we did a TV awards show. We all had to stand
backstage getting ready to go on for the finale, and all go out and show our
awards and wave goodbye to the camera. When the music started, someone told me to go.
So I ran out on stage, but what happened was the last band hadn't gone on yet. The last
group was onstage. I was out there with them and I just made a foold out of myself.
Of course I was in black patent leather and they were all in yellow, so I totally
stood out."
Offstage: "I fought a bull in Mexico. I thought it was a joke. They had five
volunteers, four guys over forty, and me. They let this bull loose, and the first
four guys got trampled. Then they put me out there with a little red cape,
and it came charging at me. Charged me like six times. It hurt a lot. I made a
fool out of myself in front of many people-a full stadium-who knew who I was."
Joey
Onstage: "One time I sprained my ankle [during a show] and it was so bad that my toes
started to turn black and blue. And I had to do three shows, one after another. I went
hopping onstage, and I was still dancing."
Offstage: "I was with the guys in Germany. I was messing around, there were
some fans around. I was jumping around and I went to kick over JC's head, and
my foot was almost going to kick him in the head, so I tried to raise it a little
bit higher and my other foot come out under me. I fell on my butt right in
front of everybody. People pointed and poked fun at me."
Chris
Onstage: "One time we were going one of the back slips that we do. Joey
threw my over backwards, my foot slipped out, and I didn't go very good. He
turned my ankle and I did a back slam. That hurt."
Offstage: "We were at the airport and my leg fell asleep. When I went to get
up and take a step [my leg] wouldn't go, so I feel right there in the middle
of the airport."
Justin
Onstage: "I ran onstage after a quick change with my fly unzipped. MY pants
almost feel down all the way to my ankles. They fell down my thighs almost to
my knees, and I grabbed them. Luckily I had a baggy basketball shirt on over them,
so you couldn't see that they fell down. I also broke my thumb onstage before.
It was an open-air festival in Germany; it was outside and it was really hot
and they were spraying the kids with water, with this big hose, and they got some water
on the stage. There's a move where we slide across the floor in one of our songs,
and I slid on the water and my feet came out from under me. My first reaction
was to throw my hands down-try to catch myslef-and my thumb broke. Luckily
it was the last song of our set. I just held the mike in my left hand the whole
time."
Offstage: "It's hard to pick one. I do something embarrassing every day."
I got this information from *Nsync the Official book by *Nsync with K.M. Squires. It is a really good book and I highly recommend it.
