Justin Timberlake Steps Out with *NSYNC at ‘Trolls Band Together’ Premiere Following Britney Spears’ Memoir Release

Justin Timberlake teams up with *NSYNC to celebrate the release of their new movie and hit single.

The singer/actor, 42, and his bandmates Lance Bass, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick stepped out for the film’s US premiere on Wednesday Trolls Band Together in Los Angeles.

The “Bye Bye Bye” group walked the red carpet together at the TCL Chinese Theater in honor of their new song “Better Place,” which is featured on the film’s soundtrack and voice cast roles. The event marks the first time *NSYNC has been able to promote their involvement in the new animated film (in theaters Friday), now that SAG-AFTRA has reached a tentative agreement and union members are no longer on strike.

Justin Timberlake turns off comments on Instagram after bombarding ex Britney Spears’ book

Timberlake, who plays Branch in the Trolls franchise, wore an all-black look.

He was first spotted a few days after the book’s release on October 24 in photos he received The Daily Mail who captured him and his family, including Biel, as they arrived in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, on vacation.

The hitmaker was photographed next week at a PGA Tour event at Diamante Resort’s El Cardonal Golf Course in Cabo. He appeared to be enjoying himself as he took part in the four-hole celebrity race for the PGA Tour’s World Wide Technology Championship.

At the event, the “SexyBack” singer was seen swinging a golf club on the putting green, sharing a laugh with PGA Tour player Keith Mitchell and smiling in group photos with other celebrity guests, including actor Michael Peña and former NFL star Reggie Bush.

He also performed at a benefit event for his friend and collaborator Pharrell Williams’ Joopiter clothing auction with art director Kenzo Nig.

Despite his recent low profile, Timberlake has been in the spotlight in recent weeks for his alleged past behavior, which Spears, 41, writes about in her memoir. The pop superstar writes that she was once pregnant with a musician and claims that he cheated on her, among other anecdotes. (The “Hold Me Closer” singer also admits her own infidelity.)

Every time the guys from *NSYNC got back together

Although *NSYNC was previously unable to participate in press for Trolls Band togetherBass, 44, has been open about his support for his co-star and bandmate.

In a short video interview with TMZ, the pop singer addressed the criticism the “Mirrors” singer has received in recent weeks. “Look, I think everybody has an opinion,” he said. “I just feel like the world is so full of hate right now that we need to practice a little forgiveness.”

“Britney is. So let’s take her a note,” Bass continued, referring to a statement the pop star made on social media about how she “moved away” from the events in her memoir.

In an interview in November, Bass told PEOPLE that *NSYNC is “all good” and added that “People will survive,” when asked how Timberlake is doing amid the release The woman in me.

The performer also recalled what a positive experience the group’s reunion has been, since it began with a performance at the MTV VMAs in September and the release of “Better Place” shortly after.

“It was unexpected to do a song this year, [but] it was amazing,” he added. “Justin is the executive producer of the film’s soundtrack and it made sense for us to get involved this year because of the story involved. So he found this amazing song and we instantly fell in love with it.”
