As an actor, Timberlake has received acclaim for his performances in films such as "The Social Network" and "Friends With Benefits."
Throughout his career, Timberlake has been awarded ten Grammy awards and four Primetime Emmy Awards.

In March, Timberlake released his first new album in six years, titled "Everything I Thought It Was," marking a return to his signature future funk sound.
