Interview With Justin Timberlake
Justin Timberlake, the man responsible for bringing sexy back, hits the big screen in action thriller, Alpha Dog. Already established as the hottest pop star on the planet, here the 26-year old talks about the big leap to celluloid…
How did you prepare for the role?
[The film's] based on the true story of a gang of rich kids in Los Angeles who kidnapped a kid, partied with him for two days and then shot him. The kid my character is based on is now doing life imprisonment for his part in it and the director Nick Cassavetes and I went upstate California together to meet him in prison.
The film also stars Bruce Willis and Sharon Stone and several other experienced actors. How did they react to you?
When I came onto the film, all the other actors were probably not looking forward to having to deal with me but I wasn't worried about it and I just showed up to work the same as everybody else.
What is the difference for you between performing in front of a live audience and doing a film in front of cameras?
Performing onstage is all about reacting in a grand way. But film is much more intimate. The other thing is you don't get the instant gratification [from doing a film].
How did you become an entertainer?
I was very shy as a kid but when I found out I could perform and have people's attention, everything changed for me. It felt like it came naturally and it was fun.
You're a bit of a workaholic, but what do you do when you're not working?
I seek complete silence and time on my own. You have to offset all that activity with nothing. Or with something that's fun to you and relaxing.
What are the five most important values to you in your life?
My relationship with my mom, my family, peace of mind, my friendships and my career.
