Justin Timberlake opens up to Playboy magazine for their July 2011 issue about Mila Kunis (his Friends with Benefits co-star whom he has a rumored real-life romance with), if he has any Friends with Benefits of his own, if he'll release new music, and if he smokes pot.
On filming sex scenes with Mila Kunis for Friends with Benefits:
“I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t completely awkward. I couldn’t tell you the number of people in the crew watching me and my bare a*s, but it was a lot. The producers and I agreed we would shoot a big chunk of the movie before we got down to the sex scenes, which was a good idea. That allowed Mila and me time to get comfortable…Most of the sex scenes are actually played for laughs, and she’s such a gifted comedian…a lot of the time it was just me making a fool of myself. You can’t be shy with comedy even when you’re standing there naked.”
On whether or not he’s had any “friends with benefits”:
“I don’t think I’ve ever had that type of relationship. I get hooked on every level when I get close to someone. If you build enough chemistry to want to be intimate like that, someone’s going to catch feelings, and usually it happens quickly.”
On when he’ll release new music:
“I don’t have a single song ready to go. People keep asking me when a new song or album is coming out, and I don’t know what to say. Music is not my focus right now. It may be someday.. It could happen next month or next year but right now it’s not where it’s at for me.”
On smoking pot:
“Absolutely [I’m a pot smoker]…The only thing pot does for me is it gets me to stop thinking. Sometimes I have a brain that needs to be turned off. Some people are just better high.”
The July 2011 issue of Playboy hits newsstands Friday, June 17.
