Now:

Justin Timberlake has kept very busy since NSYNC's hiatus in 2002.

I mean,Cry Me A RiverANDRock your Bodydid come out that exact same year.

Timberlake's solo music career took off quickly, and the star took up acting in 2008. He starred in hit movies likeThe Social Network, Bad Teacher, Friends with Benefits,andIn Time.

In between his music and acting career, Timberlake ran into a few controversies like the 2004 Superbowl scandal, where he ripped a piece of clothing off of Janet Jackson, and of course, criticism surrounding his relationship with Britney Spears that he largely avoided until this week.

Listen to The Spill, where hosts Laura and Kee discuss the glaring in Justin Timberlake's apology. Post continues after podcast.

He released a statement apologising for his behaviour this week, claiming that he "benefitted from an industry that condones misogyny and racism".

"I care deeply for the wellbeing of people I love and have loved," he wrote.

"I can do better and I will do better."
