I mean, to have dated Britney Spears…you need a little relaxation i guess? lol…Justin Timberlake admits that he “absolutely” smokes pot.
JT added in a new candid interview with Playboy magazine, “The only thing pot does for me is it gets me to stop thinking. Sometimes I have a brain that needs to be turned off. Some people are just better high.” Timberlake also said he was on the drug during the filming of his infamous “Punk’d” segment, where Ashton Kutcher’s team of fake IRS agents ceased his property and ended with the singer crying to his mother phone.
“I actually stopped smoking pot for nine to 10 months after that,” Timberlake told the magazine. “I was so stoned. If you ask my friends, if they’re honest they would probably say that’s the only way to get me as dizzy as I was.”
Check out what else JT talked about with the naughty mag:
On his personal fashion mistakes: “God, I feel I’ve gone to therapy just to erase some of them. The cornrows I wore with ’N Sync. That was pretty bad. Britney and I wore matching denim outfits [to the 2001 American Music Awards]. Yeah, another bad choice. I’d probably pay good money to get some of those pictures off the internet.”
On his co-stars on The Mickey Mouse Club: “What’s funny is I didn’t know at the time that the people around me would go on to so many great things. The exception was Christina Aguilera. She was the prodigy. She could sing better than the adults who had huge deals at the time. We always felt she was going to become Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey or whoever she wanted to be.”
On Lady Gaga: “She’s a force. Beyond awesome. I mean, she’s legitimately talented. I’d love to see her come out with another record a couple of years from now that’s completely different, maybe something Tori Amos could do. If I were Lady Gaga, I’d do whatever I wanted, which it looks like she’s doing. She’s just plain old good.”
On Britney, “The internet is a cruel place. What a fucked-up thing to do… I don’t have too much to say about her situation. I can’t remember the last conversation I had with her. But this thing that happens online bothers me—these anonymous commenters. People think they can say anything and it doesn’t matter to people. I’d love to see the people who comment about Britney online say those things to her face, because they couldn’t. Also, in Britney’s defense, if you pulled up a video I did from 2003, I couldn’t do the shit I did then either.”
