Justin Timberlake has admitted: “Sometimes to be funky, you gotta smell funky.”

The chart star – who recently signed up as the face of Givenchy scent Play – said he is not a huge fan of aftershave.

And he said that sometimes he prefers to soak up his natural scent.

He said: “I’m not a cologne freak.

“I don’t wear it all the time. I’m not wearing it right now.

“My issue with [it] is that it makes you smell unlike yourself.”

Justin, 28, told a US magazine: “Sometimes to be funky, you gotta smell funky.”
