Well, one of them!

Justin Timberlake was named GQ's Man of the Year -- he shares the honors with Will Ferrell, Matthew McConaughey, Kendrick Lamar and the late James Gandolfini -- and the singer/actor and wife Jessica Biel celebrated his cover at the mag's dinner in New York City. Wonder what Jess thought of his cover look? It's a little Robin Thick-esque, and we don't even want to know how much product it took to get JT's curly locks up into this 'do:



While JT and Jessica were absolutely glowing on the red carpet, inside the magazine he addresses a lot of negativity surrounding his career. Case in point, he starts off by telling the reporter, “So I find it ironic that I'm doing an interview with you about Man of the Year when I feel -- literally -- like a bunch of people just took a sh*t on my face.”

On his response to negative reviews of Runner Runner, JT said:

“The movie didn't do well at the box office, so I should quit? Hold on a second. If I was somebody else, you wouldn't have said that. I have the number one album this week, and I shouldn't have released it? Come on, man. You sound like a d*ckhead ... It just shocked me because, like, you're trade magazines. None of your opinions count. And by the way, none of you can do it.”

The former boy bander tells the magazine that growing up in Memphis, Tennessee shaped how he handles this sort of criticism. "It's a struggling city with a defeatist attitude. I'm from this town, and I grew up with a little bit of a chip on my shoulder, so sometimes I find it funny that I've been able to acquire the patience it takes to be kind to people in our business," he says. "Because sometimes I just want to f*cking kill everybody."

Man of the year, indeed.
