Tumble-lake! Daredevil Justin performs his own stunt for Pepsi TV ad

With these stunts, let's hope Justin Timberlake doesn't suffer any more Super Bowl malfunctions.

The SexyBack singer, who controversially tore off part of Janet Jackson's corset during a half-time duet three years ago, has decided to fling himself back into Super Bowl Sunday action.

Timberlake, 26, had to apologise to 140m people for the 2004 "wardrobe malfunction" in which he exposed Miss Jackson's breast to millions of people around the world.

Now he is filming a TV commercial, for Pepsi, to be shown during next year's big game. The star, believed to be worth £28m, fully insured himself after agreeing to perform all the stunts.

He was rigged to wires, lifted into the air and spun around, to simulate being hit by a car. Timberlake was then dragged along the road on a detached car door, during which he lost his shoe and had to hobble off set.

The advert will be broadcast during next year's game on 3 February.
