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.
