Justin Timberlake, the 43-year-old singer famous for his days with NSYNC and a successful solo career, was arrested early Tuesday on Long Island, New York, for allegedly driving under the influence. The incident occurred in the Hamptons.
Transitioning from his early days in the boy band NSYNC to becoming an R&B sensation, Timberlake’s career took off when he starred in Disney’s “The All-New Mickey Mouse Club” at the age of 12.
NSYNC’s album “No Strings Attached” achieved a world record for sales, propelling Timberlake to further fame. As a solo artist, he’s known for hits such as “SexyBack,” “What Goes Around…Comes Around,” and “Suit & Tie.”
In addition to his music career, Timberlake has made significant strides in film, notably portraying Sean Parker in the Oscar-winning film “The Social Network” and starring alongside Mila Kunis in the romantic comedy “Friends with Benefits.” He has also lent his voice to the popular animated “Trolls” series.
