JT passed up teen roles

Justin Timberlake turned down roles in teen flicks so he might have a chance to prove himself as a serious actor. "I'd rather do something that challenges me," the singer says. "I have been sent an enormous amount of scripts, some of them were teen movies. Some of them were actually funny. But I didn't want people to think I would capitalize on my music. And it's not what I wanted to be known for."
