Washington, Nov 1 : Justin Timberlake admitted that his real life mother had inspired Olivia Wilde to play his parent in new movie ‘In Time’.

Wilde asked Timberlake plenty of questions about his relationship with his own mother Lynn Harless to efficiently play his mom in the futuristic sci-fi thriller

“We sat together and she would ask me ‘What would your mother do? How would your mom act in this situation? What would be the subtext of this situation?’” Contactmusic quoted Timberlake as saying.

“When Olivia and I first started rehearsing for the movie we found it hilarious that she''s younger than me and she was playing my mother,” Timberlake said.

“I’m glad that it was her because I think she’s a great actress, she performed this character with a lot of tenderness and it really shows,” he added. (ANI)
