The actress took to Instagram to show the surprise appearance, posting a picture of the couple in character, her in Candy's signature short curls and an old-school blue outfit while Justin looked like he had aged himself ten years with a gelled hairstyle and retro suit.

I said, 'Oh, I don't know. Probably like a local amazing actor from Atlanta.'" because they had maxed out their budget, to which her husband replied: "I want to play this part."
