Singer and actor Justin Timberlake called in to “On Air with Ryan Seacrest” on Thursday to discuss his new movie “In Time,” new musicians he’s working with, and what he thinks of Eddie Murphy hosting the Oscars.
Justin has hosted Saturday Night Live, the ESPY Awards, and the MTV Movie Awards. One gig he has not hosted, is the Oscars. Justin says, “That immediately makes me nervous. I mean it would be a blast.” Eddie Murphy will be hosting The 84th annual Academy Awards. “I’m excited to see Eddie host the Oscars. I think he is going to be amazing. I instinctively feel like he’s going to incorporate his brand of humor into the evening, which is just impeccable.”

Justin’s new movie “In Time” opens this Friday and explains it saying, “if you could imagine that we’ve found a way to stop aging, the way we look when we are 25 is how we are going to look forever. What type of obstacles does that bring? over population is the first thing. So, the government has kind of come up with this way to disenfranchise us in a way and time has become money. When you turn 25, you have a year of time on your body clock, which you are able to see your left forearm,” he explains.

Justin recalls a scene from the movie with co-star Amanda Seyfried, “I remember we were shooting a scene and I said, ‘You know what would be cool is if in the scene your character just kind of took her heels off and ran barefoot.’ She literally looked at me with this contorted face and said, ‘But I’m a girl and we like our shoes.’ And I said, ‘You know what, fair enough. I can’t say women wouldn’t relate to that.’ So, she says, ‘I’m not going to leave these expensive heels!’”
