Justin always wanted to put his music in film

Actor Justin Timberlake says he always wanted to put his music in a film. The 35-year old singer handled the soundtrack for the animated movie Trolls and has also acted in the feature. 

Trolls has been nominated for a Golden Globe award for Best Original Song for the song ‘Can’t Stop The Feeling’.

Speaking about the film, Timberlake said, “I can honestly say I’ve always wanted to combine the two, do music for a film. I never thought it would be Trolls that would be my first foray into that, but I have always wanted to do it. It was so fun, every day. Playing a character in the movie as well.” 

Director Mike Mitchell said that the idea for the feature, which is based on the popular children’s toys known for their wild hair, came from the lack of “mythology” surrounding the origins of the troll dolls.
