Justin Timberlake makes it all look easy but he recently revealed he has some life challenges of his own to deal with. Justin is quoted by website Collider.com as saying: “I have OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)  mixed with ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder). You try living with that. It’s complicated.” 

The 27-year-old entertainer revealed the condition affects many parts of his daily life,  right down to making sure objects are always lined up perfectly.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is a psychiatric anxiety disorder often characterized by obsessive thoughts, compulsions or rituals. Several celebrities have admitted suffering from the condition including David Beckham, Jessica Alba and Cameron Diaz

Attention Deficit Disorder is a developmental disorder, and suffers often complain of forgetfulness, distractibility and hyperactivity.

Justin has also admitted in the interview he is “addicted” to performing live, and gets a thrill out of entertaining arenas packed with his fans.

He explained: “I get butterflies. You just kind of get caught up in the electricity of it. Oh, yeah, that still happens to this day. And when that stops happening, you should stop.

“It’s addictive, you know what I mean?”
