Justin Timberlake interviewed current Now co-star Amanda Seyfried over the phone (while she was in the buff!) and ended up discussing his latest transformation from sexy pop singer to serious actor.
The 25-year-old Mamma Mia starlet appears as the cover girl for Interview magazine, and asked the 30-year-old Social Network star how he's dealt with all the media scrutiny following his impressive transition.
Timberlake, currently dating actress Jessica Biel, explained, "What's been more of a battle for me throughout the process of moving into acting is that I feel like I have to keep reassuring people that I'm not an a**hole. There is a stigma that comes from being on stage and being a musician."
Seyfried added, "It's true. I understand your struggle. But I think you're past that at this point. Besides, what's wrong with being an a**hole?"
Timberlake also added that his career move was similar to the time he left boy band *N SYNC and went solo.
He continued, "Whatever you do as a musician, no matter how good it is, somebody somewhere is going to sh*t on it. You put your heart on your sleeve, and what will happen will happen. But it's like that for any artist. You do a painting, you take a photograph, it's the same. That's how artistry works."
During their interview, Seyfried confessed she was in her "birthday suit", saying, "I think I should mention that I’m not wearing any clothes. I’m most comfortable in my birthday suit."
Timberlake quipped, "Well, if that’s how you’d like to be interviewed, then that’s totally fine."
Timberlake also discussed Seyfried's upcoming film Red Riding, asking, "It seems like a lot of people are comparing Red Riding Hood to the Twilight series. How does that make you feel?”
Seyfried explained, “I think it’s hard not to compare Red Riding Hood because Catherine [Hardwicke] directed the first Twilight. But Red Riding Hood is a very different film. I mean, yeah, there’s a love triangle, and people can easily compare the relationship between Kristen Stewart and those two guys in Twilight to the Valerie, Henry, and Peter characters in this movie, but we have so many elements that make it completely different.
"Plus, Twilight doesn’t have Gary Oldman, now does it? I sort of wish Gary Oldman could live in my house and we could cook breakfast together and he could just tell me how to be better at everything, because I feel like he would know."
