We can count Jennifer Lawrence among the many teen girls who was at one time, or still is, infatuated with Justin Timberlake.

While promoting Catching Fire, the 23-year-old starlet participated in a Tumblr Q&A at Yahoo Headquarters on Wednesday, Nov. 6 with director Francis Lawrence. The event, which was part of the film's Global Fan Day, was moderated by Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer.

When asked about who she liked like that back in the day, the Hunger Games actress admitted that she had a thing for a certain boybander.

"My teen crush [was] Justin Timberlake," J. Law, who was sporting her new pixie cut, told the audience to some laughs. "Early 90s Justin Timberlake though. Like 'N Sync Justin Timberlake."

Maybe it was the platinum curly locks?

The pop star apparently made the Oscar winner so excited, she recalls feeling very overcome with emotion at the mere sight of him.

"I remember buying the 'N Sync CD," J.Law explained. "Remember how CD's had like the pullout picture things? And I was like getting so overwhelmed with like hormones I almost threw up!"

Wonder which booklet made her feel this way. Perhaps, Bye Bye Bye with the five guys featured as marionettes?

But J.T. isn't alone in J.Law's teen crush category. She also revealed she was smitten with Matthew Lawrence on Boy Meets World as well as a "little bit" of early Kirk Cameron. Probably from when he starred on the hit sitcom Growing Pains.

The second installment in the series, Catching Fire, hits theaters Nov. 22.
