IDThat clip is definitely a major "core memory" for anyone who grew up watching the Disney Channel in the early 2000s!
The movie you’re looking at is Model Behavior, which premiered on March 12, 2000, as part of the The Wonderful World of Disney. It’s a classic "switched identity" story, but what makes it particularly iconic is the cast.
Quick Facts about Model Behavior
• The Plot: A shy, "plain" high school student named Alex Burroughs and a world-famous teenage supermodel named Janine Adams realize they look exactly alike. They decide to swap lives to escape their own pressures, leading to the usual comedic and romantic complications.
• The Stars: * Maggie Lawson plays both Alex and Janine. (You might recognize her later as Juliet O'Hara from Psych!)
• Justin Timberlake plays Jason Sharpe, the male model and love interest. This was filmed right at the height of his 'N Sync fame, which was a huge deal for Disney fans at the time.
• Kathie Lee Gifford also stars as Janine’s overbearing mother/manager.
