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.
Pharrell Williams has said that he didn’t warn Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg or the other famous faces in his new documentary that they were going to be transformed into LEGO figures.The film, Piece By Piece, will be released on October 11.
Early on in the film, Williams says that the best way he can express himself is through the medium of LEGO.“I was given Lego sets as a child, and that was a really amazing platform for me to allow my imagination to flourish and to learn things about myself, as it has for most kids and a lot of people — millions and millions of people on this planet,” Williams told Variety at the Toronto Film Festival, where Piece by Piece was premiered.It features talking head interviews and narrative sequences with many of Williams’ closest collaborators.
Gwen Stefani, Kendrick Lamar, Justin Timberlake, Pusha T and Timbaland also appear.None of them were told that the film would be made with LEGO. “We purposely did not tell anyone that that would be the finished product.
We wanted people to just answer the questions and really give their full, unedited reactions to the opportunity to do the interviews,” Williams said.“Because if we would’ve said, ‘Okay, this is going to be in Lego,’ then people would have sort of curved what they were saying … we didn’t want them to be influenced by what we wanted.
