Zachary Quinto Gets His Freak On, Channels Missy Elliott Circa 2001 on Lip Sync Battle

Spock has some serious moves!

On an upcoming episode of Lip Sync Battle, Star Trek Beyond‘s Zachary Quinto channels Missy Elliott for a rousing performance of her 2001 hit, “Get Ur Freak On.” Quinto isn’t phoning it in here, either—he’s rocking a wig, red lipstick, giant hoop earrings and a head-to-doe bedazzled denim ensemble that is oh-so-very early 2000s. 

Even Zoe Saldana, Quinto’s Lip Sync Battle opponent, looks impressed by her co-star’s dancing. The actress doubles over laughing, and hosts LL Cool J and Chrissy Teigenare in stitches watching Quinto channeling the R&B star, too.

So will the real Missy “Misdemeanor” Elliott join Quinto onstage à la Beyoncé and Channing Tatum? We’ll have to wait and see. The highly anticipated Zachary Quinto vs. Zoe Saldana one-hour super-sized episode of Lip Sync Battle airs Thursday at 8 p.m. on Spike.
