When Justin Timberlake stepped out of a court in Long Island on Tuesday (June 18) morning, having been arrested for driving while intoxicated the previous night, the Prince of Pop will have known his time in custody had already sparked headlines around the world.
It’s far from the first time the 43-year-old singer and actor has found himself at the center of a media storm. After first rising to fame as a Disney Mouseketeer, Timberlake formed NSYNC alongside JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick. They quickly became one of the biggest boybands in the world, with Timberlake dating fellow pop icon Britney Spears and pursuing a solo career that made him one of the major stars of the 2000s.
