WHY DAD JUSTIN CAN’T STOP THE FEELING ...

-

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE believes he has watched the animated film trolls ‘more than anyone else in the world’.

and that’s not because he’s a voice actor in the box office hit. Or because he wrote an Oscar-nominated song featured in it.

no, it’s all down to silas, his 22-month-old son with wife Jessica Biel.

‘Oh man, i think i have watched this film more than anyone else in the world because my son loves it so much! he’s a little singing and dancing machine.

‘We dance around together. it’s frightenin­g me. i’m like: “Put this stethoscop­e in your hand and see how that works out,” ’ timberlake joked.

Justin’s troll song, Can’t stop the Feeling, has an infectious dance beat that makes even me want to keep moving, so i can see why silas loves the tune and the movie.

his dad wrote it with Max Martin, a friend and producer from his *NSYNC days, and Karl Johan schuster.

it won an award at last weekend’s grammys, but at the Oscars will face strong competitio­n from two numbers from la la land (the Fools Who Dream and City Of stars) and lin-Manuel Miranda’s how Far i’ll go from Moana. sting’s the empty Chair, from HBO documentar­y Jim: the James Foley story, is nominated, too.

Justin did versions of the song with the cast, and also made a video where he’s seen dancing, and then eating blueberry pie in a diner.

last year, timberlake shot an untitled Woody allen film with Kate Winslet. he’s sworn to secrecy on the plot, but he says Winslet is ‘such a gem’.

‘i’ve found a new friend in the industry. she was so lovely. We had a fun time making the film together.’

timberlake and Biel will be attending the academy awards on February 26.
