The salient points

• When Justin Randall Timberlake was a child he co-presented The Mickey Mouse Club with some people you may have heard of, namely Christina Aguilera and future 'sweetheart' Britney Spears.


• He went on to become the face, voice and hair of globe-straddling boyband *NSYNC who released a handful of very amazing singles including this one.


• Around the release of 'Justified' - his Neptunes and Timbaland-produced debut solo album - the UK press started calling him "trousersnake" for reasons we're too innocent to understand.


• (It was something to do with his penis.)


• He touched Kylie Minogue's bottom once.


• In 2006 he brought "sexy back" and not a moment too soon.


• His amazingness is summed up succinctly in these 9 minutes and 22 seconds.


• He's a big fan of golf and serious acting.


• In fact he enjoyed acting so much that he bid the music world a cheery "fuck off" and decided to do films full time.


• But then in 2013 he came back to music (HURRAH) and released his first single in six years, 'Suit & Tie' (BOO).


• Luckily this was followed by 'Mirrors', which is an undeniable feast of amazingness.


• The rest of 'The 20/20 Experience' was a bit patchy and overly long, but overall it was nice to have him back.
