He says he's lucky to be doing music and acting
Justin Timberlake's first dream was to be a comedic actor.
Although the
multi-talented star is flying high in both the music and movie
industries, promoting new flick Runner Runner and his second cut of The
20/20 Experience, he grew up dreaming of appearing in TV sitcoms.
Speaking
to The Metro he revealed: "I am glad I decided to become a musician
first because it is like nothing else. Growing up I thought for sure
that I was going to be some sort of comedic sitcom actor.
"My
treat before bedtime was to stay up at the news and watch Cheers,
Three's Company or Sanford and Son with my parents. Being that type of
actor is what I wanted to do."

"But
you can never fathom how a career is going to pan out and certainly,
where I am now, I really don't want to squander this sort of luck."
The
32-year-old stars in Runner Runner alongside Ben Affleck and explained
why he has actively chosen to land supporting roles in his movie career
so far.
"I have enjoyed playing the antagonist, probably because I get to play the protagonist in my music so much," he said.
Justin
also spoke about his latest musical offering. The first part of the
record, The 20/20 Experience, was released back in March and topped
charts all over the world. This second instalment has a darker feel, and
Justin wants fans to listen to the album in full without interruption.
"I
want people to put it on and not touch it, and leave it to play for an
hour," the star said. "The sequence is important; in a loose, linear
fashion you can tell a bit of a story of a story in your album."
