In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, released online on Wednesday, February 8, Justin explained that he left the band for many reasons.
“We were on a stadium tour, and I just felt like the whole thing was too big. It started as a fun snowball fight that was becoming an avalanche,” he said.
Justin continued: “And, also, I was growing out of it. I felt like I cared more about the music than some of the other people in the group. And I felt like I had other music I wanted to make and that I needed to follow my heart.”
Since *NSYNC, Justin has pursued a successful solo career in music, with 4 studio albums and 9 Grammy wins.
He’s also had a successful acting career, with roles in movies like The Social Network and Friends With Benefits.
Most recently, Justin voiced the lead character in Dreamworks’ Trolls, for which he released a chart-topping single, “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” – Rappler.com
