On Newsstand: Justin on "Dazed"

DAZED & CONFUSED
September 2006 Issue *41
Booty Cool
After a few years away, 25-year-old Justin Timberlake is on a mission to bring “sexy back” and start a revolution from deep within the pop machine. Here, he tells Kevin Braddock why music “needs an enema”.
In a sunny room of an expensive hotel in Paris, mid-heatwave, Timberlake sits back in a big chair next to a table spread with complimentary croissants that will remain uneaten along with coffee that is going cold, and his non-stop life on the tightrope of ambition halts for several seconds over this question. The 25-year-old singer/dancer/actor pauses and falls into a furrow of contemplation.
“I don’t aspire to be the biggest pop star on the planet,” he says. “I aspire to get people’s asses off the wall, make people sing, make people dance, make people feel something. And if in that way, I do become the next Michael Jackson, then great. But I don’t have any aspiration to invent the next moonwalk.”
When a subject animates Timberlake, he slides to the edge of his seat, gesticulates and sometimes makes his point by singing, tapping out a rhythm or beatboxing a break.
When he is cogitating deeply, his crystal sapphire eyes lock with yours in a suspicious gaze so intense that it could start campfire.
