Bullied Justin Timberlake

Jun 12, 2007, 7:00 GMT

Justin Timberlake was bullied at school.

The 'Shrek the Third' star could identify with the animated character Artie he voices in the film, because he was a social outcast when he was young.

Justin told BANG Showbiz: "I grew up in Tennessee where you either play football or you don't do anything at all so I was a bit of a loner being interested in music. I was not cool. It was football or die!

"I would come to school, and was bit of an outcast but I wasn't bullied too much, thank God. But if I could say one thing to the kids who didn't think I was cool back then it would be, 'Eat it.' "

The 26-year-old heartthrob is currently on a world tour promoting his new album 'FutureSex/LoveSounds', and is finding time between concerts to publicise the new 'Shrek' movie.

Justin - who has a starring role in four films out this year - admits he is struggling to write any new tracks because of his hectic schedule.

He explained: "It's hard to find time to write songs at the moment. I have to do it on the plane or on the bus in between shows. But I'm working on it."
