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.
Justin Timberlake 'sued by 20/20 Experience documentary director' over 2012 film agreement
msn.comJustin Timberlake is reportedly facing a lawsuit after a documentary maker claimed the singer breached an agreement over a collaborative film about the making of his 2013 album The 20/20 Experience.
Director John Urbano alleged that the Cry Me A River hitmaker recruited him in 2012 to help produce a feature-length film on the making of his third studio album.
According to Urbano, the Friends With Benefits actor, 41, was intrigued by the documentary idea at first but following the album’s success, Timberlake lost interest and the film was never released.
In legal documents obtained by TMZ, it states: ‘Instead of fulfilling his obligations to the joint venture, Mr Timberlake has failed to take any steps to promote, market, and sell the Making of the 20/20 Experience. ‘Mr Timberlake has increasingly distanced himself from the project and his partner — often using a network of agents, managers, and handlers to interface with Mr Urbano. ’The lawsuit seeks to compensate Urbano for financial losses he claims were incurred after the agreement was breached.
