“Justin is campaigning hard with producers and is billing himself as the total package. He's playing up the fact that he's a singer, dancer and actor. Plus he bridges the gap between old and young,” the source told Star Magazine.

Timberlake is said to be confident he will be able to entertain the star-studded audience, as well as millions of viewers worldwide.
