His best known songs include “Cry Me a River,” “Rock Your Body,” “SexyBack,” “My Love,” “What Goes Around… Comes Around,” “Suit & Tie,” “Mirrors,” “Can’t Stop the Feeling!,” “Filthy,” and “Say Something.” He has had leading roles in the films Model Behavior, Edison, Alpha Dog, Black Snake Moan, Southland Tales, Shrek the Third, The Love Guru, The Open Road, The Social Network, Yogi Bear, Bad Teacher, Friends with Benefits, In Time, Trouble with the Curve, Runner Runner, Inside Llewyn Davis, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, the Trolls franchise, Wonder Wheel, and Palmer, and appeared on The All-New Mickey Mouse Club. He was a member of boy band NSYNC, with Lance Bass, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, and Chris Kirkpatrick.
Justin is the son of Lynn (Bomar) and Randall Timberlake, a choir director at a Baptist church. He is of mostly English, some Irish, Scottish, and Welsh, and distant Dutch, French, German, and Jersey [Channel Islander], ancestry. He is married to actress Jessica Biel, with whom he has two children.
There is a claim that Justin is a descendant of Henry Timberlake, an explorer born in Virginia, c. 1730, who had apparently had children with a Native American woman. The publicly available family trees of Justin Timberlake, however, show him to be a patrilineal descendant of Richard Timberlake, who was born, c. 1736, in Lancaster County, Virginia. Justin is thus not a descendant of Henry Timberlake, at least through that line.
Justin’s patrilineal line traces to Francis Timberlake, who was born, c. 1687, in London, England.
Justin’s paternal grandfather is Charles L. Timberlake (the son of John Denham Timberlake and Gladys Lucille Martin). Charles is a Minister of the Shelby Forest Baptist Church in Millington, Tennessee. John was the son of Charles Mitchell Timberlake and Eva J. Pirtle. Gladys was the daughter of Colley Edward Martin and Sarah Virginia “Sallie” Hargrove.
Justin’s paternal grandmother is Bobbye/Bobby Joice Williams (the daughter of Robert Lee Williams and Katherine Heneritta “Katie” Morris). Robert was the son of Robert Lee Williams and Annilee Sullivan. Katherine was the daughter of Clarence Morris and Frances Arnold.

Justin’s maternal grandfather was William Silas “Bill” Bomar (the son of Silas Bryant Bomar and Lois Aileen McCraw). William was born in Tennessee. Justin’s great-grandfather Silas was the son of Robert Lee Bomar and Martha Jane “Mattie” Lumpkin. Lois was the daughter of William Gabriel/Gabrielle McCraw and Allie Blanche Bomar.
Justin’s maternal grandmother is Sadie Lee Timbs (the daughter of Clarence Andrew Timbs/Timms and Susan Florence “Susie” Joyner). Sadie was born in Tennessee. Clarence was the son of James Samuel Timbs/Timms and Lelia Eva Stocks. Susan was the daughter of Levi Ellis/V. “Lee” Joyner and Annie Demetra George.

At first I thought he was part black… LOL
Native Americans don’t have curly hair, Europeans can.
He is implying that he has African heritage.
Of course Justin has African heritage, but it doesn’t make him non-white. Everyone has African heritage to some degree, we all came from Africa. The first fossils of Homo Sapiens have been found in Ethiopia, Sub-Saharan Africa. No one is 100% Eurpean.
Most Europeans don’t have African admixture when they do DNA test.
Trugattaca If the first human beings appeared in Sub-Saharan Africa, it is a logical consequence that absolutely everybody has African ancestry to some degree. First human beings where not Europeans but sub-Saharan Africans. Later they migrated out of Africa. DNA test are innacurate if the say you only have European ancestry. No one can have European ancestry only.
@follers
My friend is full German with bits of polish,and not descended from royalty, but he really wants to be distant Norwegian or another ethnicity. His great-grandmother’s name is Margaret Steiner born August 8, 1876 in Holzheim, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Her parents are Johann Georg Steiner (1847-??) and Ursula Koezle (1849-1926). Margaret married Gustave Muerder, and died in New York on an unknown date. Follers or anybody please find out if she is distant anything (Norwegian, French, Danish, etc.) or descended from royalty.
Please he is threatening me
Hey is anybody good at finding this because he really wants to know and all I found was that Margaret Steiner was German
Correction. He also has some French ancestry as well. His father’s grandmother had ancestors born in the 1650s who came.from France.
There is something about his nose and curly hair that give off a Jewish or Italian vibe. Surprised that he is full Northern European.
deal with it asap
Curly haair is pretty common in Ireland and Wales
True
he’s had a nose job multiple times so now it looks romanticized
