Women around the world swoon for Justin Timberlake. Few get close and even fewer get intimate. His movie costars have that benefit if there is a love scene. Even in the comedy The Love Guru, Timberlake got naked with his costar. Meagan Good plays his girlfriend, who has to react to the implication of his large penis.
Meagan Good on Loving JT in The Love Guru
"I was really nervous about the scene where Justin had to pull out his you know what and I had to say damn," said Good. "I was like, 'I don't know how to say damn. I don't know how I'm gonna do it.' I was just nervous. I was like, 'How are we shooting that? What's going to happen?'"
She also got a bit self-conscious about an on screen foot massage. "Oh gosh, I was just happy to get a foot massage honestly. I was nervous. I was like, 'Oh my God, I have to get my toes done and make sure everything's okay.' I was looking at my feet like, 'That's not a bunion, right?' I was nervous but he was just such a sweetheart. He was like, 'Give me your foot.' And I was like okay. He's actually really good."
The Love Guru
On a deeper level, the film pokes equal opportunity fun at everything from spiritual practice to African-Americans in hockey. "I think that it kind of does that with every aspect of it, with Le Coq being from Quebec or being African American. Really everything. I think it's all funny. I just take it light heartedly."
Though a select few are protesting the film's take on spirituality, Good feels they are uninformed. "I just think it's so light hearted and if that's the case, people should be offended by Austin Powers, by the character he played in that. Or black people should be offended by this or that. Christians should be offended by that scene in Borat or whatever it is. To me, everything is lighthearted and right now, everything that's going on with the war, we need that. We need to be lighthearted. We need to laugh a little bit. We need to not take it so seriously and if there's any confusion, anybody who wants to know then go find out. Only you are responsible for the information you don't have that you're ignorant to that you assume."
