Justin Timberlake On Golf, Being In The Womb, And The Shriners Hospitals for Children

Justin Timberlake sat down with The Daily 10 to talk about the golf tournament he sponsors to benefit Shriners Hospitals for Children, being on the cover of “Golf Digest” magazine, and who he inherited his talent from with Sal Masekela.

When asked how he got involved with the PGA for the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, he jokes:

“We were looking to get involved with the PGA for one of the tournaments and then they started talking about the Vegas game and you know how we all hate Vegas.”

In addition to the tournament, Timberlake also hosted a special all-star concert:

“I think it's the only time you'll ever see 50 cent and the Jonas Brothers on the same stage. (laughter) It was like, I think he's cursin’. And then it was like bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum. And everybody was like oh, yeah I remember this one. (laughing) But yeah no, everybody was great. Rihanna, Leona Lewis.”

I had to read the above quote twice to understand. It must be early...

Timberlake’s mother was seen dancing at the concert, and he says that’s where he gets his moves:

“Actually yeah, yeah. I got my voice from my father. My mother, I don't know how pregnant she was with me but I know that she did a ten year reunion recital with the people that she used to take dance with in school. I always joke around that my dance lesson was in the womb. I know that she used to say that, my father used to play in a band and she used to say that, she used to just sit there and bounce.”

Timberlake was thrilled to be on the cover of “Golf Digest” magazine:

“Well I'm not gonna lie I mean, I'm done. You don't have... I don't have to do another magazine cover.”

When Masekela asks if he preferred being on the cover of “Rolling Stone” or “Golf Digest,” Timberlake says:

“I mean, Golf Digest. Absolutely.”
