Blake Lively meets NSYNC at Deadpool & Wolverine premiere, says she's the ‘happiest human ever’

Blake Lively, 36, was overjoyed after meeting JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Chris Kirkpatrick, and Joey Fatone at the New York City premiere of Deadpool & Wolverine. 

She shared her excitement on Instagram Stories on Tuesday, July 23, stating, "No one will ever know what this moment meant to me. No. One. Ever. I am living in a simulation. My face knows it. Happiest human ever."

The post featured a photo of Lively with her husband, Ryan Reynolds, 47, and the *NSYNC members, shared from Bass' Instagram.

Notably absent was Justin Timberlake, who is preparing for his upcoming European tour. Lively expressed special thanks to Reynolds for "being the most romantic person on the planet and making all of my dreams come true last night via @deadpoolmovie." She added, "10 year old, and also 36 year old me is sobbing."

The film, premiering this Friday, features *NSYNC's hit "Bye Bye Bye." Reynolds acknowledged the group's impact on a specific sequence in the movie, saying, "These guys had such a huge hand in making a particular #DeadpoolAndWolverine sequence one of my all-time favourites. 

Can't thank them enough for their kindness, talent, and good fellowship. *@justintimberlake not pictured but no less appreciated."

Lance Bass humorously commented on Instagram, "Still waiting for our call to join the X-Force," referencing the ill-fated team from Deadpool 2. 

Reynolds replied, "Sadly, X-Force perished in action. I think about them every day, though," to which Bass responded, "@vancityreynolds I’ll pour one out for them."

Lively also expressed her gratitude in the comments, writing, "Can confirm (if my face doesn't) this was the single happiest most complete moment of my life. I'll shave my hair off and perm it beach blonde. It's fine. I can scrub in. I'm ready. This just feels right." Bass replied, "@blakelively I have all the bleach you need! I'm in!"

Deadpool & Wolverine hits theaters on July 26.
