Justin Randall Timberlake (born January 31, 1981), occasionally known by his initials JT, is an American singer, songwriter, actor, dancer, and record producer.
Raised in Tennessee, he appeared on the television shows Star Search and The All-New Mickey Mouse Club as a child. In the late 1990s, Timberlake rose to prominence as one of the two lead vocalists and youngest member of NSYNC, which eventually became one of the best-selling boy bands of all time.
Timberlake began to adopt a more mature image as an artist with the release of his debut solo album, the R&B-focused Justified (2002), which yielded the successful singles "Cry Me a River" and "Rock Your Body", and earned his first two Grammy Awards.

How about a little contrition or a PSA: “Don’t do what I did.” Or give out gift cards for Uber or Lyft with every ticket.In the age of ubiquitous ride-share services — which should have rendered drunk driving extinct — Timberlake looks like a flat-out reckless, selfish fool.Toss in his extremely high personal net worth of $250 million, meaning he could have a driver on standby, and it’s the biggest unforced error since he showed up to the 2001 American Music Awards doused in dubious denim.Be a boozebag, if you please.
Get soused. Binge so hard you’re grabbing random customers’ drinks at the bar, like the singer was reportedly doing. But after you pay that tab, call a car.Timberlake was even reportedly warned by the arresting cop to not drive.
