From boy band heartthrob to headline-making solo star, Justin Timberlake’s journey has been something however quiet.

All of it kicked off with *NSYNC in ’95 … hitting purple carpets with Britney by 2000, and the group performing a now-iconic Tremendous Bowl halftime present along with her and Aerosmith in 2001.

After the band hit pause in 2002, so did his relationship with Brit — cue “Cry Me a River” drama. However he moved on shortly … courting Cameron Diaz, performing solo on the MTV Music Video Awards, adopted by his personal album launch — earlier than getting caught red-handed within the Janet Jackson Tremendous Bowl scandal in 2004. He went on to this point and later marry Jessica Biel, and made the leap into motion pictures like “The Social Community.”
