Is what you see is what you get with Justin Timberlake? The singer-turned-actor infamously rocks a pair of, well, large, Speedos in The Love Guru, but he won’t reveal as to whether or not he received any, um, extra padding.

“I’m playing a guy who’s, as they say, legendarily well-endowed,” he tells Parade.com. “The Speedo was incredibly uncomfortable and that’s as far as I’m going to take it.”

The 27-year-old plays Jacques “Le Coq” Grande, a huge supporter of “chick flicks” and Celine Dion who makes a living as a hockey goalie. Having dreamed of becoming a pro basketball player as a kid, learning all the ins and outs of hockey — and goaling — was a completely different beast for Justin.

“I got a two-week crash course,” he says. “I could already skate, so I had that going for me, but learning to play goalie, is completely different. It takes an incredible amount of hand-eye coordination.”

Though he got pretty comfortable at net — even moving towards a puck when it came at him — Justin admits he was at times nervous at getting hit in the face.

“They started shooting slap shots at me and you get all this padding on, and you kind of feel invincible, which you’re not,” he says.
