Lance Bass is jumping on the Face App bandwagon, and fans are going bananas.
Using FaceApp, Lance jumped into the Old Face Challenge that’s currently going viral, and posted a photo of all five *NSYNC members posing together as old men. He captioned it, “When we finally reunite” with a smile emoji.
Fans predictably went nuts, with many posting the “So you’re telling me there’s a chance?” GIF. And another hopeful fan wrote, “Notice he said ‘When’…not ‘If.’ Juuuuust saying.”
Another fan wrote, “WE WANT IT NOW. I mean if I have to be 50 doing the choreo to IWYB I will, but I’d rather do it before the arthritis.”
“I’ll be there with my high blood pressure pills and arthritis medication,” wrote another.
One fan posted a video of The Golden Girls and captioned it, “My friends and I when we finally get to see @NSYNC in concert.”
But the one that Lance liked best was the response from the fan who captioned the pic, “Dirty Pops.”
*NSYNC fans have been waiting decades for a reunion with all the OG members including Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone and Bass.
