Justin Timberlake Regrets Those Cornrows (PHOTOS)

Justin Timberlake is one of the biggest studs we know (or wish we did). He's starring in a movie with the gorgeous Mila Kunis, he's got six Grammys under his belt, he helms a successful clothing line, and to top it off he's got that whole bringing-sexy-back thing going on.

But hidden in his past are some truly unfortunate sartorial choices, ones that won't go away as long as there are reporters like David Hochman of Playboy around. Hochman brought out these insecurities in his recent interview with Timberlake:

PLAYBOY: You’ve also influenced people with your fashion choices, including your clothing line, William Rast. You wear a certain hat or sneaker and suddenly everyone’s wearing it. Does that ever feel weird?

TIMBERLAKE: I don’t think about my influence on stuff like that too much. I see a lot of young guys dressing more like I should have been dressing when I was their age. Robert Pattinson dresses properly. He’s more adept than I was. But I don’t know. I don’t think there’s been one specific person other than Sinatra who has influenced my style.

PLAYBOY: Any particular fashion regrets?

TIMBERLAKE: God, I feel I’ve gone to therapy just to erase some of them. The cornrows I wore with ’N Sync. That was pretty bad. Britney and I wore matching denim outfits [to the 2001 American Music Awards]. Yeah, another bad choice. I’d probably pay good money to get some of those pictures off the internet.

Unfortunately, J.T., those pictures are still floating around that pesky Internet and we've got them right here. Sorry.

Love you, always! Read the rest at Playboy.com.

There should be some sort of law against cornrows.

Why what? Cornrows is never any particular style for any one race or artist. Should Snoop be question for wearing his hair straight, long, and processed?

Wore a necklace when I was in the military. We called 'em dog tags. They weren't expensive, nor attractive, but they were precious. Haven't worn a necklace since I got out.

I find dogtags on guys to be incredibly hot. (Don't let my avatar fool you, I'm a chick.)

One of the most attractive things about him is that he laughs at himself. It's not so much that he's hot, but that his singing, dancing and acting are magnetic.

Love it when he headlines SNL.

Surely you are joking. He doesn't do any of those things well. Justins's sole desire is to be in the spot light at all times.

I like the jeans outfit. So OTT, so bad, it's good.

Cornrows don't look good on anyone.
08:18 PM on 06/15/2011
They look perfectly fine on black women, I rock my rows every now and then.

Meh. Different strokes for different folks.

Fine but not on a white boy. So Bo Derek.

Is it possible that Justin Timberlake has some black in his DNA?

Well according to wikipedia : """ White Americans of European descent.[49] In another study, about 30% of all White Americans, approximately 66 million people, have a median of 2.3% of Black African admixture.[50] " so you never know , maybe he is one of them
