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.
Boy bands from multiple eras will be featured in the new Paramount+ documentary Larger Than Life: Reign of the Boybands, premiering November 12.
The trailer can be viewed above. From The Beatles and The Jackson 5 through New Edition, NSYNC, New Kids on the Block and The Backstreet Boys, to Seventeen and beyond, the documentary highlights the era’s defining boy bands— their highs and lows and everything in between—and how the groups have evolved throughout the years.
It will also delve into the not-so-glamorous part of the business like having to adapt quickly to newfound fame. Participating members from various groups include AJ McLean, Chris Kirkpatrick, Donnie Wahlberg, Donny Osmond, Jeff Timmons, Hanson, Lance Bass, Michael Bivins, Nick Lachey, Seventeen (Hoshi & Vernon) and Tiffany.
In addition to the artists, managers will also be spotlighted to discuss how they helped orchestrate the rise of the biggest boy bands.
