Unless you have been living under a rock, you know that Justin Timberlake is extremely popular. But, you might remember that he started on Disney’s “Mickey Mouse Club” (MMC) and was part of the popular boy band *NSYNC.
However, he has now become a superstar in his own right, with another huge album, “The 20/20 Experience,” and the upcoming “The 20/20 Experience 2 of 2,” which drops this Friday, Sept. 27.
If that was not enough, his movie career continues to grow. His latest film “Runner, Runner” also comes out this Friday.
Oh…did I mention that he’s married to Jessica Biel, the one-time star of “7th Heaven” and a movie actress in her own right?
But, that’s not all. Every Tuesday, you can find him on Jimmy Fallon’s “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” which follows Jay Leno’s “Tonight Show” on NBC. The weekly feature is called “Timberlake Tuesday” and has featured him in several skits with Fallon including two tributes to “old school” hip-hop.
However, they upped the ante recently. Timberlake and Fallon were featured in a skit using Twitter’s hashtag feature.
For those that don’t know, the hashtag feature, represented by “#,” allows the user to connect their tweet (or message) to other things or people, like #JustinTimberlake.
But on a recent episode of Fallon’s show, they had a two-minute conversation using hashtags the whole time.
Timberlake, however, is not through there. He is out on a tour, which he calls “Justin Timberlake and the Tennessee Kids,” which honors his roots in the Volunteer State. During this tour, he performs classic hits like “Rock Your Body” and tributes Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5.
At one point, during his concert, he ends his song “Rock Your Body,” and goes directly in the Jacksons’ definitive “Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground).” It is here that Timberlake shows that he has the ability to perform more than just a pop song. His performance emulates the original performance by the Jacksons.
Over approximately 20 years, from “MMC” to his spectacular solo career, Timberlake has shown that he definitely has what it takes to be well known for years to come. Whether it’s singing on a stage, joking around with Jimmy Fallon, or his budding acting career, Timberlake is definitely #TakingBackTheNight!
