In what could be his finest role to date, besides that coke-fiend he played in The Social Network, Justin Timberlake stars as a giant lime… You heard me.
In the three-minute spot for Sauza 901 Tequila, Timberlake portrays Rick “Sour” Vane, an anthropomorphic lime that was living large when he was needed to make inferior tequilas tolerable.
