The singer sparked a major reaction among fans of his wife and viewers of the show when Jessica revealed how he had also transformed himself for the series, leaving him absolutely unrecognizable.

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. 

She cheekily captioned the post: "Watch out, Candy. There's a new sheriff in town," revealing her husband's cameo role, and he hilariously replied in character, commenting: "I know you did it."

The impressive change

Fans were both taken aback and delighted by the unexpected transformation, hailing them "couple goals" and writing: "Must have been hard for the make-up artist to transform this beautiful couple into this," and: "Wait he's in it this is hilarious," as well as: "OMG!

Plus, as it turns out, his appearance almost didn't even happen. Jessica explained: "He asked about that particular character, Steve Deffibaugh, [and said] 'Who's playing this guy?' 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."
