The 35-year-old singer became a father last year and during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, he gushed about his kid, insisting there’s something very special about him, reported Contactmusic.

Revealing he’s always dancing around the house and singing along to father’s Can’t Stop the Feeling, Timberlake said, “It’s kind of crazy. I feel like I’m that guy who is just bragging about his kid on national television, but he’s pretty rad. He’s kind of smart... He didn’t get that part from me.”

Silas is also a big fan of daddy’s new movie, Trolls.

“I got to stream [Trolls] early for my son. He already knows all the characters. He knows like 12 characters,” Timberlake gushed. “He’s a genius, he really is. You can clap for him.”
