Questions for Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick

Brace yourselves! We've managed to secure some time with Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick, who'll be taking your questions about their roles in the film Trolls that's hitting UK screens on 21 October. Of course, you can ask them other stuff too!

Post up your questions for Justin and Anna before 10am on Friday 6 May and we'll be putting the questions to them next week. The interview will be filmed so you can watch the pair answering your questions on the Mumsnet YouTube channel later this year.

DreamWorks Animation's TROLLS is an irreverent comedy extravaganza with incredible music! From the genius creators of SHREK, TROLLS stars Anna Kendrick as Poppy, the optimistic leader of the Trolls, and her polar opposite, Branch, played by Justin Timberlake. Together, this unlikely pair of Trolls must embark on an adventure that takes them far beyond the only world they've ever known.

Justin Timberlake is a singer, songwriter, actor, record producer and entrepreneur. Having come to fame with N-Sync, he reached superstardom with his solo music career. Nominated for a Golden Globe for his music for Inside Llewyn Davis, he's appeared in films as diverse as The Social Network to Friends with Benefits. He became a dad for the first time last year.

Anna Kendrick was born in Portland, Maine - but is of English, Irish, and Scottish descent. She came to fame in the Twilight series before featuring in movies like What to Expect When You're Expecting and, of course, Pitch Perfect.

hey anna!! I love you so much! ❤️❤️ What was and is your favorite animated film of all time??

DBKENDRUNK47 · 05/05/2016 02:15

For Anna: If you had to do only one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be ? (Acting, singing, eating taco bell, sleeping, etc !)

DBKENDRUNK47 · 05/05/2016 02:17

Anna, what does a day in your oh so glamourous life looks like ?!:) xxx

Baconyum · 05/05/2016 02:29

Hi Anna my daughter and I are big fans! I must confess I was dragged along to pitch perfect for my daughter's birthday treat and was dreading it being some kind of hsm nonsense - not at all, absolutely brilliant and to hold your own on the same screen as rebel must have been a delightful challenge.

I sing in a choir and my daughter also sings (but is too shy to join a choir yet), I love my 80's pop, daughter likes her soul including old school. What's your favourite music to sing?

(And of course you have watched the breakfast club yes?)

stareatthetvscreen · 05/05/2016 02:54

hi justin :)

i love your music so much. do you have anything lined up musically or are you concentrating on films now?

Bruna2809 · 05/05/2016 03:00

Hey JT, can you tell us how it is you creative process to make the soundtrack of Trolls?
We love you here in Brazil!

migueltnkidbrasil · 05/05/2016 03:49

Justin, what are your expectations for this film?

Sending Love Brazil, we love you and we miss you (say something to your brazilian fans) !!! 🇧🇷❤

Nalu98 · 05/05/2016 05:31

Hi Justin! My name is Ana, can i ask you two questions? Do you like U2? You would like collab with them? That would be my dream. Love, from Brazil (We miss you)

Crystaal13 · 05/05/2016 10:25

Hey Anna, huge fan thanks been an amazing actress and person in general! You are my favourite human! damn this is so much harder to think a good question then I thought it would be. I've been literally sitting here for like an hour trying to think of something good all I got it is.. What is your favourite cheesecake flavour?

overwhelmed34 · 05/05/2016 11:22

Anna, I remember your performance in Camp (so cool!). How did your parents react to your er...'choice' language in the film?! (Fairly mumsnet appropriate question I think).
Also, you are fab!

AHintOfStyle · 05/05/2016 11:26

Justin: what was it like working with Duran Duran & how did it feel to meet the original JT? 😀😀

ManonCrempog · 05/05/2016 11:46

I'd like to ask you both a very important question.
If you had to choose one flavour crisps to eat for the rest of your lives, which would it be? (Doritos don't count.)

Motherwithflaws · 05/05/2016 11:49

Justin, you're friends with Jay Z, what's the gossip about Beyonce and lemonade?

3luckystars · 05/05/2016 11:53

Anna, Pitch Perfect is my favourite film EVER, ever.. I have the soundtrack in the car so listen to you every day! I'm a huge fan of yours.

I am having a baby girl in a few weeks and am searching for a name for her but cant decide on the "perfect" one. Can you help me out?

If any name comes pops in to your head, I would love to hear it. Thank you!!

LazySusan11 · 05/05/2016 13:53

I'm not sure I can ask JT the question i'd like to...I believe it will be deemed inappropriate Grin.. he's on my laminate dh will be fine

Anyhoo..question for both Anna and Justin,

How do you both keep grounded and keep some sense of normality in your lives?

Emus · 05/05/2016 14:41

Three questions (feel free to pick one)!

To both:
Is it harder voicing an animation and do you have any visual guidance when you're recording?

Do the actors come together when recording parts or is it all done to different schedules and cut together at edit?

Is the process longer than traditional movies?

Emus · 05/05/2016 14:44

Fourth question but not relevant to the film
(But relevant to Mumsnet!):

Justin, how have you and Jessica found parenthood so far?!

WienerDiva · 05/05/2016 14:44

This is very exciting for MN!

Anna is my girl crush, you can't be that beautiful, have a terrific voice and be that funny on Twitter and not have a slight girl crush Blush.

JT, will there be a dodgy perm revival N'Sync style?!

Anyway, my real question is, how different is it from filming in person to recording for an animation, do you have a preference?

I'm gushing a bit even writing this, how embarrassing (gushing as in awe, not anything remotely pornographic).

sianihedgehog · 05/05/2016 15:02

Justin: where had sexy gone?!

margewiththebluehair · 05/05/2016 15:11

I am fans of both of you!

I am amazed at both of your talents. Both your abilities to rap as well as sing is amazing.

Anna - Pitch Perfect is one of my all time favourite movies to date! I am so glad you did Pitch Perfect 2.

Two completely different questions for both of you -

  1. Which actor/actress (dead or alive) do you wish you could act with?
  1. If you could be any animated character (other than the ones you have voiced) - who would you choose to be?
ZivaJereb · 05/05/2016 15:39

Hey Anna! Who or what is your inspiration in life? Who supports you the most?
Ps. I love you!

ZivaJereb · 05/05/2016 15:40

Hey Anna! What would you choose if you had to? Taco bell or sex? 😏

SoGodhelpme · 05/05/2016 15:41

Justin, when are you next going to collaborate with either Timbaland or Nelly?

ZivaJereb · 05/05/2016 15:42

What would you do if u got locked out of your apartment?

ZivaJereb · 05/05/2016 15:43

Hey Anna!
What's the best experience you have ever had?
I love you!
