Justin Timberlake has revealed that he was regarded as a "weirdo" during his school days. He admitted that his fellow students bullied him because of his love for singing and dancing.

"I didn't enjoy school that much. I was a good student but I was one of the weirdos, because I could sing and dance," Timberlake told. "I would say I was kind of awkward in school. It's funny the things that get you picked on as a kid. I was picked on for my hair, my skin, my voice.

"I was weird because I could sing. Then I got jumped when I was 13. I was beaten up for being white. I grew up in Memphis, Tennessee, and it happened so fast. I got beaten up and had a big lump on my head and a black eye.

He insisted that the experience made him stronger, "I want to say they broke a couple of my ribs because I remember, for six to eight weeks thinking, it's just a bruise but I think my ribs were broken. For a while, it changed me. It was hard to believe that my head could be any larger but yes - it makes you stronger."
