Justin Timberlake reveals concerns about how his fame will impact his two children
Justin Timberlake expressed his fears for his two children growing up with famous parents.
The 'Cry Me a River' singer, 39, opened up about his two kids — Silas, five, and Phineas, who was born last year — in an interview with Dax Shepard on the Armchair Expert podcast.

"I try to be conscious of making sure we can live a life where we're not weirdly private but we're conscious of making sure they can be kids for as long as possible," Timberlake said. "And not have the weight of somebody else treating them differently because of something that their parents do."

Shepard agreed with that sentiment, sharing how he fears his children will struggle to form genuine friendships.
"I have that great fear that kids are going to hang out with them solely because of that or resent them because of that," Shepard said.

Shepard's wife Kristen Bell voiced Anna in the highly successful Disney film Frozen. He went on to disclose how he tries to keep that detail private from his children's friends.
"I know you're proud and you should be able to say that, but I'm just warning you, that'll probably make other kids jealous and they won't know how to handle that feeling," Shepard said.
Timberlake chimed in, "Yeah, we have this same thing where, like, the kids at school with my five-year-old are like, 'Your dad is Branch.' For guys like us, you know, the hope is that we just keep instilling in them that we got really fun jobs, but it's not who we are."
