Madam Lefigaro did an interesting interview with Justin, during one of the filming sessions of Friends with Benefits. It’s a very nice read. You get to learn lots of stuff about him, so check it out:
When were you happiest?
I don’t remember specifically. However, when I’m in the nature, on a golf course or in the mountains on my snowboard, I feel immediately at home.
Your main character trait?
It’s a tough question you are asking me. Say, whimsical. I have my ups and downs, like everyone else.
The one you are least proud of?
Maniac.
The number 1 song in your playlist?
Imagine, John Lennon, and the Gregorian repertoire, Hallelujah is one of the most fabulous pieces.
What do you do to combat stress?
I play golf. I take my clubs and I get alone for five hours.
Your favorite drink?
Burgundy. I’m not sharp enough to give you the name of a vineyard, but a good glass of burgundy with friends, there is nothing better for a good evening.
Your hobby?
Sport. I enjoy playing golf, snowboarding, surfing …
Your Bio feeling?
I built a golf course in Memphis, Tenn., my hometown. It is an eco-friendly golf, the grass is watered only with rainwater, the carts are equipped with solar panels and the fertilizers used on the lawn are organic.
What have you done better in your life ?
That moment has not arrived yet, but I’m pretty happy with all the films and concerts that I made.
Your best piece of design?
A table that I just bought from a young artist, Roy Nachum. He has just started. I hope my reputation helps him and brings him luck.
Your favorite movie?
Younger, I was crazy about all the films of John Woo.
Your favorite actor?
There are millions. But Tom Hanks is largely up to the podium. Then, all the major movie stars: Audrey Hepburn, Marlon Brando, Cary Grant …
Your hero?
My parents. I love them passionately.
Your motivation?
Confidence in me.
What would you bring in your suitcase before leaving?
I always travel with hand luggage containing the subsistence minimum for two days: underwear, jeans, shirt and a T-shirt.

Your madeleine of Proust?
Ice cream and donuts. The donuts make me … crazy!
Your next vacation?
No idea, because I’m filming Friends With Benefits, the story of an editor who falls in love with its head hunter. Of course, the romance goes sour.

That I am a nice guy.
