What happens in New Orleans doesn’t necessarily stay in New Orleans when the paps are around! In new snaps shared on DailyMail, Justin Timberlake was seen out at a bar holding hands with a co-star… sans wedding ring. Timberlake, who has been married to Jessica Biel and has a son, is in New Orleans filming, and the co-star he was shown getting handsy with is his lover interest in the movie.

While some sources say the flirty moves were “harmless,” we’re not so sure – the pics look pretty intimate. What do you think?

On Thursday night, he was spotted hanging out on a balcony of a bar in the bustling Bourbon Street area of New Orleans.

Timberlake went sans wedding ring as he perched against a wall while chatting it up with his co-star.

At one point, Justin held onto Wainwright’s hand as he laughed among what appeared to be cast and crew from the flick.

Eyewitnesses claim that they left the bar via a rear exit at about 12.30 a.m., Justin trying to keep a low-profile in a baseball cap, ripped jeans, and a zip-up jacket.

A source insisted to MailOnline that the pair were ‘out with a group of people from [the Palmer] production. There was nothing going on.’

Another witness, however, alleged: ‘At one stage he grabbed her hand and rested it on his knee. She then gently started stroking his leg. Then he clutched her hand with both of his and was playing with her hands.’

DailyMail.com reached out to Timberlake’s representatives for comment.

Justin and Alisha play on-screen lovers in the football-themed drama and sat together in the corner of the balcony, both drinking alcohol.
