Taking his well-deserved place as one of GQ's Men of the Year, talented superstar Justin Timberlake, who return to the top of the charts this year with 'The 20/20 Experience', graces the one of the five December covers for GQ magazine.

The handsome 32-year-old is named the #Hashtag of the Year and joins fellow cover stars Matthew McConaughey, Kendrick Lamar, Will Ferrell and the late James Gandolfini, where he discusses his reputation, Memphis and his acting career.

On His Reputation: "I don't see myself as someone who's ever going to be defined by one moment. It's on to the next."

On Growing Up in Memphis & His Critics: "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. Because sometimes I just want to (expletive) kill everybody."

On Negative Reviews of 'Runner Runner': "This recognizable face that you work so hard to get, not because you want the recognition but because you know you're made to do it. 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 (jerk). 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."

On His Upcoming Role in Coen brothers' film, 'Inside Llewyn Davis': "You do a Coens movie and secretly you're like, 'All I want to do is make people laugh in this movie. If I can make people laugh in this movie, then I don't care. Whatever else happens, happens.' "

He's coming off one of the most creatively inspiring years of his career, garnishing major Oscar buzz for his dramatic performances in 'Dallas Buyers Club' and now, Matthew McConaughey has been named Leading Man of the Year by GQ.

In the magazine's December issue, the Texas-born charmer talks about losing nearly 50 pounds for his role in the film and how it affected him both physically and mentally, saying: "I had one scene where I had to run from gamblers, damn that was hard. Before, I could have done that 500 times. The first time I took off running I made it from here to that door. My legs locked up and - bam! - I crumpled and went down. I went, 'Time out!'"

"That was kind of painful," the actor continued. "I didn't know my legs had gone into that much hibernation. I was pretty damn weak. But the energy I lost from the neck down got transported to the neck up. My mind was kind of hyper acute and aware and sharp."
