Justin Timberlake on 'Inside Llewyn Davis' role: 'It's a career milestone'

Singer and actor Justin Timberlake stars in the new upcoming Coen brothers' movie, 'Inside Llewyn Davis', and has opened up about the exciting project in a new interview with Billboard magazine. 

In the film, he plays a musician and explained that being able to do all of the creative things he loves in one project was an incredible experience and was very engaging: 

"It's the first time that I've gotten to kind of do a lot of things that I love to do at the same time. It will always be a milestone for me to get to write, sing, act and bring it all together."

Timberlake collaborated with producer T Bone Burnett on some of the film's songs and Burnett admitted that although the tracks he recorded for the big screen project fall within the folk genre, he was able to adapt his style to fit the music perfectly:

"He's from Memphis. He's an R&B singer, basically. But he's got a beautiful voice and he's got incredible tone and he can sing anything he wants to. A song is a song."
