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.
Pop princess Britney Spears has praised her ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake as a "genius" before claiming that they had "one of the world's biggest break ups".
The Toxic songstress boasted that there were no hard feelings between the former flames as she danced to Justin's hit single Filthy, before complimenting the singer turned actor.
Britney, 38, has recently been treating her Instagram followers to a string of videos and yesterday was no different. Spears and Timberlake famously split up in 2002 after three years of dating, with the pair going on to release love songs which fans were convinced had been written about their relationship.
