GQ: How well do you know each other?
Justin Timberlake: We  just met the other day.

Jimmy Fallon: We met at the photo shoot for this article. No, wait! We  met during your N’Sync days. Like some MTV thing.

Justin Timberlake: You’re right. It was when you hosted the MTV awards  in 2002.

Jimmy Fallon: Weirdly enough that was Justin’s debut as a solo artist,  and the first time I hosted the VMAs. It was a huge deal for him. A lot of  pressure. People were saying, is he going to do it? Can he do it? There’s no way  he can keep the groove! And then he came out of a GIANT BOOMBOX. Do you remember  this?

Justin Timberlake: Yep, I remember.

Jimmy Fallon: By the way, thank you. I appreciated that gift. And if  anyone reading this has like 150,000 D batteries, please call me. I’d love to  borrow them. It’s real hard to keep that thing juiced.

Justin Timberlake: That was your joke that night, right?

Jimmy Fallon: Yeah.

GQ: Wait, you’re giving me jokes you used at the MTV VMAs in  2002?
Jimmy Fallon: [laughing] Yeah. That’s what we do.

GQ: And then you became buddies?
Justin Timberlake:   Yes.

Jimmy Fallon: Ehhh…

Justin Timberlake: Absolutely.

Jimmy Fallon: Of course. We’re super friends! I remember talking  backstage during those VMAs. I was totally nervous and you were nervous and we  both ended up having good nights. We’re good luck to each other—like each  other’s rabbit foots.

GQ: And Justin was the first guest when you got your late night show,  Jimmy,  right?
Justin Timberlake: I’d never seen him more  nervous.

GQ: Let’s talk about how you guys came up with “History of Rap,” the most  viral video in network late night history.
Jimmy Fallon: We were  in your dressing room backstage on SNL.

Justin Timberlake: We were just shooting the shit, right?

Jimmy Fallon: You were coming on my show later that week, and I asked,  “What do you want to do?” We both thought, well we could sing something. I  wanted to do Toto’s “Africa.“We could sing that song really well  together.

Justin Timberlake: We should still do it! We should do Toto’s “Africa”  but we should do it as characters.

Jimmy Fallon: I was thinking we’d do “Africa” as me and you at the age  of thirteen. We’d be best friends and have a tape of us having a sleepover and  singing “Africa.” We can wear wigs and braces .

Justin Timberlake: We were sitting there, and I said, “Do you remember  that guy who did the history of dance?” He did every song that had a dance or  was named after a dance. It was a viral sensation. Then we just started kicking  around medley ideas. Jimmy was like, “What if we did the whole history of all  hip-hop and fit in as many songs as we can?

Jimmy Fallon: We started improvising right there. We went from Jay-Z  to “The Humpty Dance” to “How about this one?”

Justin Timberlake: Jimmy’s a great impressionist and that’s what makes  it funny—Jimmy Fallon impersonating greats like Snoop and Notorious B.I.G. And,  of course, the Roots. If I had the Roots on my show I’d be doing songs every  day. Can you imagine if you had a total karaoke session with the Roots? By the  way, you should have audience participation karaoke.

Jimmy Fallon: That’s a good idea. I’m writing it down.

Justin Timberlake: You should try to stump the Roots! Have random  audience members come up and make requests. Is there a song they can’t play?  They can play anything.

Jimmy Fallon: I think why those videos have gone so viral is partly  because everyone knows and loves those songs. That alone is pretty cool. But  when you have Justin Timberlake doing it, it makes it insanely cool. After we  did the first “History of Rap,” we were on the phone and you were like “I’m in  France now and it’s on the front page!” Le History of le Hip Hop. I was  so excited, like “Dude. They know who I am in France?” And Justin just goes,  “No.”  Oh, of course. You’re Justin Timberlake. That’s why this is a huge  hit.

GQ: But it also had to do with you web presence, Jimmy. You have  more Twitter followers than TV viewers.
Jimmy Fallon: Why not,  you know? It’s fun. They’re college kids, I was a college kid. You’ve got enough  money for ramen noodle soup and Spaghetti-Os. I would have loved it if I got to  talk to someone I loved on TV. If I got to tweet Letterman and he tweeted me  back. That’s the world we live in now. It’s possible, anything’s possible. It’s  so great.

GQ: Though Letterman still doesn’t tweet…
Jimmy Fallon: I  think it’d be weird if he did. It wouldn’t be him. He is who he is, he knows  what he’s doing. It would be odd if he tweeted like crazy. [laughs] Oh man, can  you imagine that? But this is what I do. I’ve always done this. This is just who  I am. I like video games, I like tech, I like being positive. I like doing  energetic things. I like being absurd. Being silly. It wouldn’t fit if it was  somebody else trying to do these bits, or if I tried to do somebody else’s, you  know? Like if I tried to talk politics all week. It’d be weird. Like Jon Stewart  already does that every day, and he does it great. He’s great at that. Let him  do that.

GQ: You both seem ridiculously happy and excited…all the time.
Justin Timberlake: There’s a percentage of entertainers who are  working so hard—and honestly it looks so exhausting—to act like they don’t care  that much, that they’re not as excitable. But everybody is that excitable. This  is a really exciting, fun job.

Jimmy Fallon: There’s something so fun about taking that risk and  doing live stuff.  I think we both have that in our DNA. So we’re like  “Let’s go, man. Is this going to be good? I don’t know. But we’re about to go  live in like ten seconds. Let’s perform the hell out of this.”

Justin Timberlake: And I’m not a comedian so I’ll probably get  crucified for saying this, but I think with a lot of comedy the impetus behind  it is: I’ve been rejected so many times and I’m bitter and now I’m going to talk  about it. It’s almost as if The Social Network was a comedy. For me,  being earnest and genuine is way easier than acting like you just don’t care,  like you don’t want to be here, like this is a drag. There are just so many  things in the world that are a drag. For me it’s like, This is a fucking wicked  cool job!

GQ: In our comedy issue last year, Tracy Morgan said that cool is the  enemy of funny. But you guys are both. How’d you circumvent that  rule?
Jimmy Fallon: Tracy says a lot of things.

Justin Timberlake: Tracy also told me I’m five years late to be making  babies. He was like [imitating Tracy Morgan]: “HEY, YOU SHOULD BE MAKING  BABIES, JUSTIN.”

Jimmy Fallon: [laughing] Yeah, I got the making babies spiel, too.

Justin Timberlake: I JUST GO WHEREEVER I WANT AND I SPREAD MY  SEEDS.

GQ: Justin, were you this funny when you were in N’Sync?
Justin  Timberlake: What? What are you talking about? I think N’Sync is  funny.

Jimmy Fallon: [laughing] Yeah, I’ll send you some video.

Justin Timberlake: The first job I ever had when I was ten was on a  television show, and that show was the same format as SNL, it’s just that the  writers were writing for kids.

GQ: The Mickey Mouse Club, right?
Justin Timberlake:  Yes. That’s what it was called.

Jimmy Fallon: Dude, I was just talking to [Ryan] Gosling about  that. Did Gosling really live on your couch when he was a kid?

Justin Timberlake: So he tried to make it seem like he was bohemian  even back then?

Jimmy Fallon: Definitely, man. He said he was struggling and you  helped him out.

Justin Timberlake: Ryan’s mom had to stay back in Canada and my mom  was his guardian for a year so he could come down and be on the show. But  Gosling got his own bed. He didn’t sleep on the couch. He said that?

SSG: Hi Amanda! What was it like working with Justin Timberlake on In Time?

Amanda Seyfried: It was so awesome working with Justin; he is so much fun, and he is just the perfect co-star. He couldn’t have been any easier and you need good support.

What was it like between takes? How did you guys stay entertained?

AS: Justin sings on set all the time, I don’t sing when I am around Justin. He was singing Cee-Lo Green all the time at one point. I’m not afraid to dance, though!

Being a young actress in Hollywood, do you worry about ageing and the effects it could have on your career?

AS: Yeah, I worry about ageing, it’s thrown in my face everyday. It’s hard to ignore it. But I am not in a hurry to stop the process.

So in the film life ends at 25, and then you have to earn time. Have you ever wanted to pause the clock?

AS: Yeah, there have been times in life I have wanted to stop the clock. I was on a motorcycle trip for a week and a half, in the US, and I never wanted it to end.

You’ve already said Justin is the perfect co-star. Do you find him attractive?

AS: I fancy Justin, oh yeah I love him. I’ve known him for a while though.

Justin, are you enjoying being in London?

Justin Timberlake: I always like being in London. It’s never as cold as you guys make out it is!

Every little boy dreams of one day being an action hero. How excited were you about the role?

JT: Well, I don’t know, I mean, I am never going to be Rambo. [laughs] For me, I don’t see this character as being an all-out action hero, and to be honest I was very particular about placing an element in the character that was astonished at everything that was happening, because I feel the audience can relate to that. I wanted to have a really realistic, grounded approach to the action that was in this movie.

If time ran out, and you had one day left, what would you do?

JT: It sounds clichéd, but on my last day I would hang with the family!

A day in the agenda of Justin Timberlake is complicated if one takes into account that there are times when you have to come three or four appointments, address the media, travel or shoot movies. The musician, 30, confessed to enjoying the activities either in movie or music and said he is grateful for having the good fortune to work on the stage. However, from their perspective, the secret to not losing your mind after all this hard is to live each moment as if it were the best of his life.

“When you have this kind of life, choose how you want to live and I think it is all about enjoying what you have. I have found that if you appreciate what I have and I enjoy it, the weather is more bearable and if I did otherwise I would eventually hands and lose the perspective of who I am “ .

“So enjoy the food, travel, being with friends, family, with my grandparents and occasionally take the opportunity to disconnect from the world and recharge the battery,” said Justin Timberlake.

Sitting in the room of a hotel in the city angelina, Justin shows sparse to respond. At first glance it looks tired to meet with the media and his voice comes to sound tired, as if too lazy to talk.

The young native of Memphis, Tennessee, promoted with the actress Amanda Seyfried ‘s sci-fi “The price of tomorrow” (“In Time”) , in which it addresses issues such as immortality, the obsession with youth and relentless pursuit of buying time to live.

In this film, which ran under the direction of Andrew Niccol , Timberlake brings to life a poor boy named Will Sallas, who lives with his mother ( Olivia Wilde ) on the outskirts of a city where every citizen has to work minutes daily for life that are placed in a device that has integrated into the forearm.

The richest citizens live without concerns at the center of the city, because in their devices there are millions of years, while the poorest are looking forward to prolong his life either working without stopping, transferring including minutes of life or stealing time who was fooled. And they all have something in common: their physique does not exceed 30 years even though someone may have hundreds of them.

“I never tire of saying this is the most risky project, personal and interesting I’ve ever worked with. I really liked the concepts that it is handled and that from my point of view the director tried to put a mirror up to the viewer to realize that our reality “ .

“I think it is a reflection to an individualistic world, which is always a need to hold power and immortality, insatiably seeking youth, either through surgery or anti-aging products” , said the interpreter Love Dealer.

Meanwhile, Amanda Seyfried, who plays the millionaire Sylvia Weiss, joined Timberlake feel and saw a bleak picture about the series of inequalities that are seen anywhere in the world no.

“Sometimes these things seem irrelevant and all with our lives without thinking about others. It seems that the situation will get worse. In the film we see marked differences between rich and poor and that is something that is very present in our society, “ said the blonde with blue eyes.

Because in this film are carried out a series of chases and action scenes, Timberlake underwent a fitness routine for a condition that allows him to run skilfully, as in the story has to flee for his life .

“Months before shooting began, I had a very special preparation. I ate healthy, worked the muscles and ran like mad, but what I enjoyed most was driving sports cars, “ he said who collects Harley Davidson.

Timberlake talk focused on acting performance and avoided addressing the issue of music creation.

“We’re here to talk about movies. Just want to say that my time I spent on other things “ , external blunt who in June this year acquired part of the shares of Myspace.

The concept of “time” has been present throughout the interview and the question is inevitable: if you had only one day to live what would you do?

“I would go to play golf and listen to music.” , he specified.

“On my 30th birthday, I was in freezing cold water in a beige body suit,” says the star of the hit movie, In Time, which is currently heating up the box office. The film, co-starring Amanda Seyfried, poses the idea that you can live forever in a young body.

Ask Justin if he would rather have the love of his life or live forever and he quickly says, “I’d take a good 50 years and have the love of my life.” As for his last wishes, he’d request, “Time with my familyand a great meal.” Who knew JT was such a softy?

We sat down with Justin recently to talk more about his growing movie career as well as his sex symbol status, working with his ex-girlfriend and whether or not he’ll ever make music again. Here’s what he had to say:

Do you believe it when you’re dubbed a sex symbol?
Honestly, I always think that’s a misprint! Justin who?

What’s the best advice you’ve ever received about love?
Keep your love life to yourself. It really is your private life. You don’t have to share it with anyone except the other person – and not the world.

You starred in Friends with Benefits last summer. Do you think that could ever work for people…or would both parties get too involved?
I think every couple is different. The key here would be talking about your expectations up front.

What’s it like to do movie love scenes like this one with Amanda Seyfried, or last summer with Mila Kunis?
It’s never romantic. You have 30 crew guys standing around. You’re trying to be sexy for the scene, but deep down you feel a little bit goofy. It’s a real seventh grade moment where you want to giggle. Can “Friends with Benefits” Ever Work?

Tell us more about In Time.
I read the script in two days and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Partly, it really hits the nail on the head when it comes to our obsession about looking good forever. These were great themes and I really wanted to play this guy. I had to play him. He’s the kind of guy you want with you when your back is against the wall. I also liked that he’s a regular guy who gets pushed hard. He fights back, which is how I would be in real life.

Did you have fun making this film?
It was a great time because I got to shoot guns and chase around in cars and kick ass. And then, I got to kiss Amanda. I was like, “OK, sign me up!”

What was it like for you to hit your 30s?
I’m excited about this next decade because basically I don’t have a choice. And honestly, I’m really excited to see where this time takes me. So, you can say that I’m really cool with it. Bring it on!

What was it like to work with your ex, Cameron Diaz, on Bad Teacher, which is now out on DVD?
We’re still friends, and knowing each other was a great way to trust working together. Plus, nobody does a role like this better than Cameron. We had an awesome time making the movie. She’s just great.

You’re so great at comedy. Is that your favorite genre? You’re also an amazing Saturday Night Live host.
I grew up loving comedy above all else. SNL was always my thing. I would beg my mom to stay up and see this show and she wasn’t so convinced. This show was advanced! There were years when I was a little bit too young to hear some of those jokes. I didn’t even get some of the political skits, but I was laughing along with the rest of the country. Lorne Michaels allows me to host the show and rock out.

Why did you want to become a singer?
Ever since I was a really little boy I always sang. So I figured out that that was sort of my calling. I didn’t really have to think about it because I knew it was always there, that it’s what I should be doing.

Are you leaving music for movies?
I love how I’m asked if I’m leaving music, which isn’t true. It’s not like I said I’m never doing music again. I’m always doing music. It is possible to do two things at the same time — even for a guy. You know, we’re never supposed to be able to do two things at the same time.

Was it hard to be the music guy at first who wanted to make movies?
It was hard at first to convince the world that you’re serious when you come to the acting world as someone who is known for getting on a stage every night and rocking the house. There’s a stigma attached to it. People think musicians are so demanding. It’s the whole, “I need white flowers in my dressing room and if there are any red ones, someone is getting it.” It’s such nonsense. I’ve never said I will only eat yellow M&Ms in my dressing room. It’s all so ridiculous.

How did the big success of The Social Network affect you?
I was blown away at the film’s success. It was the greatest experience of my life because it was just so intense, which is how I love to work. I think of myself as the linebacker. I’m going to be there doing take after take, or taking the hits until we win. We made a movie about people sitting in a room talking to each other, yet you’re hanging off the edge of your seat watching it.

What about new music?
I’m always thinking about it, writing it. Music is always on my mind.

If you had to pick…music or movies?
It’s strange, but working on movies can be way more personal than making music. With music, you write a song and it’s sort of this sound fantasy. But when you’re in a movie, it might be a fantasy situation, but it’s your job to make it real. Does that make any sense?

Justin Timberlake  talks to the Metro about being comfortable with aging, the rebirth of his latest  venture MySpace and why he doesn’t think much of his singing, dancing and acting  skills.

Do you identify with your new character, who  comes from a poor background?

JT: This is the most personal experience  I’ve had in a film. I come from a blue-collar neighborhood outside Memphis where  people work hard, so I identify with my character Will. He values the simple  things in life. I have always been that way. Also, I can relate to loving my mum  a lot, which Will does.

So you never take your wealth and success  for granted?

JT: My mother told me from a young age: ‘You have an extraordinary ability when  you step on a stage but that doesn’t make you a better or more extraordinary  person than anyone else.’ That was important to learn.

You look incredibly fit, do you work out a  lot?

JT: I enjoy training. As a kid, I was an athlete and I think it is important to  stay healthy in my profession. I think it is a requirement to be fit and to be  able to change your body in order to play a character. I lost 15lb (7kg) to play  Sean Parker in The Social Network and I was able to do that without starving  myself because I was fit. Both performing on stage and acting are athletic.  Having said that, I did get injured on this movie for the first time. I tore my  calf muscle because we were just running and running and running all day  long.

How do you feel about getting  older?

JT: I am happy about it. I like myself much more at 30 than I did at 25. You  accept things more and you become more patient.

Would you like to look young  forever?

JT: No. In my younger days, I looked ridiculous. I’ve tried to forget a lot of my  younger looks. Seriously, I like myself more now than I ever have. You get to a  point when you accept the inevitability of ageing and settle into it.

You have millions of admirers. Who are your  idols?

JT: I love Paul Newman, Peter Sellers, Audrey Hepburn, Spencer Tracy, Fred  Astaire, Clark Gable, Frank Sinatra and James Dean. I grew up watching all of  them. I also love Tom Hanks.

What would you like to accomplish in the  future?

JT: There is always something new. Maybe directing? When I am inspired to do  something I have never been shy about doing it.

What does success mean to you and what have  you learned?

JT: It is important to allow yourself the ability to screw up every now and then  because you learn so much from that. But I have nothing figured out. It is like  starting at zero with every new project. I like being the rookie.

You’ve just become a part- owner of MySpace. How  will it change?

JT: I look at MySpace as not just technological exploration and a social  networking place; it will be an entertainment hub. People will go there to  explore their artistic side and we will give them tools to do that. We are  relaunching next year and I would rather not say anything about it. But it’s  very exciting.

How do you relax, you  seem to work non-stop?

JT: I love to travel. I enjoy discovering nature and I like being outdoors,  playing golf. I like snowboarding as well. I think more people should do  that.

What’s the key to your  success?

JT: If you give me an idea, I can show you how it would be relevant to a large  group of people. I never thought I was a great singer or a great dancer. I don’t  think I am a great actor but I can find something real about what I am doing and  I am not afraid of that.

If you had one day to live, how would you  spend it?

JT: I would have a margarita. I’d listen to music. I’d probably spend it with my  family. I would play golf with my dad, maybe at St Andrews, but it would have to  be the one day of the year when the weather was perfect.
