The 41-year-old artist revealed that when she was 11 she was part of the cast of the television show “Mickey Mouse Club”. Although she liked a young actor named Tony Lucca, she made a special connection with Justin Timberlake, who kissed her during a sleepover. When the show ended Spears returned to Kentwood, Louisiana to continue attending high school, but her dream of becoming a singer made her mother take her to an audition with Larry Rudolphwho was fascinated with his interpretation of a song from Whitney Houston.

Pop princess He also mentions his brief foray into acting, in the film “Crossroads” of 2003. For Britney it was a difficult job because she couldn’t separate her personal problems from the role she played.so he decided to stay in character throughout filming. She considers that film the beginning and the end of her acting career.so a year later he rejected the starring role in the film “The notebook”in which he would have shared credits with Ryan Gosling.

Britney also exposes in her book the crisis she had in 2008when she assumed an aggressive stance after being constantly persecuted by the paparazzi; It was then that her father Jamie began to be in charge of her legal guardianship (from which the singer was released in 2021): “They had watched me a lot while she was growing up…Shaving my head and acting out were my ways of fighting back. But under tutelage they made me understand that those days were over. I had to grow my hair out and get back into shape. I had to go to bed early and take whatever medicine they told me to. If I thought it was bad to be criticized in the press for my body, What my own father did hurt me even more. He repeatedly told me that he saw me as fat. and that I was going to have to do something about it…As for my passion for singing and dancing, at that time it was almost a joke.”
