Alba: 'Timberlake sent me into labour'

Jessica Alba has said Justin Timberlake's performance in The Love Guru sent her into labour.

The actress claimed that Timberlake's comedy role was responsible for kickstarting her daughter's birth.

"I felt something go," she is quoted as saying. "I had been very careful of my movements and seating, but it was impossible to sit still when [Timberlake] was on screen.

"I wouldn't go as far as saying my water broke, but it did feel as if I was actually splitting my sides. I felt completely drained afterwards."

Alba gave birth to daughter Honour Marie last month, two days after watching a private screening of Timberlake's movie.
