Justin Timberlake Doesn’t Take Every Role

The star doesn’t want to take roles in adolescent comedies because he hopes to be taken seriously as an actor.  The 25 year-old first starred in the film Edison, and then in the movie Alpha Dog.  Since then, Timberlake has been bombarded with offers.  He says, "I’d rather do something that challenges me. I have been sent an enormous amount of scripts, some of them were teen movies. Some of them were actually funny."

He added, "But I didn’t want people to think I would capitalise on my music. And it’s not what I wanted to be known for."
