The actress opened up about meeting the pop star back in the day and how it didn’t go well. Justin Timberlake was once the object of Rachel Bilson‘s affection back in the early 2000s, but their flirtatious moment at a party took an unexpected turn, according to revelations made during Bilson’s podcast.

During Monday’s episode of her “Broad Ideas” podcast, the 42-year-old actress shared her encounter with the pop sensation at a party during their early years in Hollywood. “In our day, Justin Timberlake was very big, right?

Like, the biggest. Sorry, no disrespect — he’s still very big. We were all at a party, or something, and he was there, and I was so obsessed with him,” Bilson began, hesitating momentarily, before saying, “I can’t tell this story.” However, her co-host, Olivia Allen, picked up where she left off, divulging how she inadvertently sabotaged the flirty encounter. “We were kicking it with him.

We were making friends with him. [Rachel] went up to him, obviously, or he came to [Rachel],” Allen explained. “I got drunk and embarrassed myself a little because he was trying to flirt with Rachel.
