Unseen Moments From MTV's Punk'd
While viewers loved Punk'd, it was undoubtedly a stressful situation for the subjects of the pranks. That was never more than clear than in Justin Timberlake's 2003 appearance. The Man of the Woods crooner was rused by actor Dax Shepard, who played an IRS agent repossessing his home for failure to pay taxes, and he totally lost it. As in, broke down into tears lost it, according to Buzzfeed.
But that wasn't all that went down. Through his cries, Timberlake allegedly got tough with Shepard by chastising him and threatening to get physical, even when the prank was over.
In an interview on Marc Maron's WTF podcast in 2014, Shepard said (via Entertainment Tonight), "[Timberlake] keeps saying, 'Yeah, man. I was about to f*cking punch you.' And I was like, 'Hmm mmm, alright.'"
According to Shepard, Timberlake continued his war of words, putting the actor on the verge of losing it. "'Dude, I was for real man, I was about to f*cking punch you out,' [Timberlake said]. And I'm like, 'OK, that's number two.' I'm thinking, how many times can I hear this dude in his golf outfit — he was wearing a golf outfit — tell me he can punch me out before I'm just not going to be able to handle it?"
Luckily, Kutcher stepped in and diffused the situation. Timberlake later told Playboy (via Buzzfeed) that he only got so worked up because he was "so stoned." NBD.
