Justin Timberlake doesn't want to be "weirdly private" about his kids.

The 'Can't Stop the Feeling!' hitmaker - who has Silas, five, and Phineas with his wife Jessica Biel - tries not to hide his children out of the spotlight but is "conscious" about their privacy.

Speaking to Dax Shepard on the Armchair Expert podcast about his children, he shared: "I try to be conscious of making sure we can live a life where we're not weirdly private but we're conscious of making sure they can be kids for as long as possible. And not have the weight of somebody else treating them differently because of something that their parents do ...

"For guys like us, you know, the hope is that we just keep instilling in them that we got really fun jobs, but it's not who we are. Hopefully down the road, then that has more weight to it I guess."

In recent years, the ‘Trolls’ star has become a family man, and is now "picky" about the projects he takes on so that he can justify working away from his wife and son.

He added: "I always want to continue to be inspired. At this point in my life, I can be picky about the projects I'm going to work on. I choose wisely because I know it takes a lot of time to do the type of work that I want to do, whether it's making music or a film - or both in the case of 'Trolls World Tour'. That time takes you away from your family, so it had better be something really, really inspiring."

And the 39-year-old star recently said he has "become a mess" since he became a father.

Asked what makes him cry, he said: "I'm a softie, man. Watching your son learn the smallest thing can bring you to that place, for sure. I have become a mess since I became a father."
