And the opportunities started to happen,” he said.One opportunity Timberlake could not pass up was the lead role in Joel and Ethan Coen’s upcoming music movie “Inside Llewyn Davis”.

“Before we started working on that movie, I randomly ran into Matt Damon and he said something that stuck with me. He said, ‘You know the Coen brothers, that’s... a call that any actor, it doesn’t matter what age, you just hope that one day you get a shot at that.’ I was kind of blown away at that.“If I would’ve got a call from Joel and Ethan Coen saying, ‘Hey, we’d like you to write music and work on some music in our film,’ I would’ve peed in my pants.”

Meanwhile, Timberlake had earlier said that he finds President Barack Obama the coolest guy. Timberlake, who appeared on ‘The Tonight Show with Jay Leno’, talked about performing at the White House in May for the “In Performance at the White House: Memphis Soul” concert, reported E! News.
