It s officially Super Bowl weekend and all eyes are on Minneapolis as the New England Patriots take on the Philadelphia Eagles. Regardless of your team affiliation, Justin Timberlake s performance this Sunday is sure to bring both sides together with an irresistible display of fierce talent. To prep for his third halftime show, Timberlake hosted a press conference in the Midwestern city yesterday, where he discussed his new album, potential surprise guests (sadly no N Sync reunion) and the man crush he has on friend and Patriots quarterback, Tom Brady, who he has logged time with off the field. "I love Tom Brady. There, I said it," he deadpanned during the 20-minute appearance. But rather than sticking to subjects like Brady s legendary composure and defensive prowess on the field, Timberlake paused to compliment his distinctive buzzcut—and not just once.
"He has great hair, don t you agree?" the singer good-naturedly asked reporters, before making repeated references to the subject. A winking nod to Timberlake s own close-cropped style? Perhaps. But it takes one hair icon to know another—and Timberlake s once famous curls have gone through their own series of headline-making cuts.
It s true that the pair could practically share a barber these days, but there is at least one area, according to yesterday s interview, where they differ drastically. While Brady s strict plant-based, dairy-free and caffeine-free diet, shared by wife Gisele Bundchen, has made headlines in recent years, Timberlake confessed to a weakness for doughnuts. It s anyone s guess then how those boys night dinners really go down.
