LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In a recent appearance on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon', Justin Timberlake shared a humorous incident involving a golf tournament in Las Vegas and a playful interaction with Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce.

According to People, Timberlake, caught up in the celebratory atmosphere, decided to join in the fun. However, a playful gesture from Kelce took an unexpected turn, leading Timberlake to exclaim, "I saw my life flash before my eyes."

Describing the incident, Timberlake explained, "He went up and did one of those side body bumps, you know, when they jump. And I was like, 'He's doing it. I have to do it.' And I forgot that he weighs like 80 lbs more than me."

Fallon chimed in, humorously noting that Timberlake was basically "tackled" during the encounter.

The incident, captured on video, showcased Kelce's exuberance as he jumped to bump into Timberlake, inadvertently knocking him to the ground and causing some stiffness in Timberlake's neck for about a week.

Despite the unexpected tumble, Timberlake praised Kelce as one of the nicest guys ever. "He's the best, by the way. [One of the] nicest guys ever."
