He rocked his body a little too hard.
Justin Timberlake recalled Travis Kelce accidentally knocking him to the ground after the NFL star excitedly chest-bumped the singer during a golf tournament with Jimmy Fallon and Patrick Mahomes.
The “SexyBack” singer, 42, reenacted the hilarious moment he coached the late-night host, 49, on how to hit the ball into the hole from inside a sand trap during his appearance on “The Tonight Show” Thursday before playing a video of the miraculous play.
In the clip, all four men screamed out in shock when the ball went into the hole, and Timberlake was seen running enthusiastically in a circle while Kelce ran to hug Fallon.
“I haven’t run that fast since,” the Grammy winner joked before the NBC personality added, “Travis lifted me up in the air. Even the other team was rooting for me. That’s how bad I am.”
Timberlake had producers continue to play the video so viewers could see the moments after, during which Kelce, 34, caused the pop star to topple over onto the course.
“Travis Kelce almost — I saw my life flash before my eyes,” Timberlake explained. “He went up and did one of those [chest bumps], and I was like, he’s doing it, I have to do it.”
But the former *NSYNC member said that he “forgot” that Kelce weighs “like 80 pounds” more than him.
Fallon then interrupted Timberlake, saying the Kansas City Chiefs tight end basically “tackled” the “Cry Me a River” crooner.
The video showed Kelce crashing his beefy frame into Timberlake’s more slender self, causing the “Friends With Benefits” actor to tumble onto his back with his legs flailing in the air.
Several fans took to X to react to Timberlake’s embarrassing encounter with the athlete.
“Looks like @jtimberlake was able to stay upright after shoulder bumping @PatrickMahomes but not @tkelce tight ends hit different,” one person tweeted.
“I’ve watched this like a million times now. That was so funny!!!! JT is so cool and our TK is a sweetheart (Justin you may want to practice that celebration bump),” a second person joked.
Others poked fun at Kelce for hoisting Fallon into the air, with one netizen writing, “Travis picking up Jimmy with one arm,” and another Twitter user tweeting, “Travis carry Jimmy like a kid.”
The former boy bander said that “while that might not look like much,” he couldn’t move his neck “for like a week” after Kelce’s playful tackle.
And when his friends asked what had caused his stiff neck, Timberlake simply replied, “Travis Kelce.”
