Is Timberlake Harvard-bound? Sort of…. Grammy and Emmy-winning singer Justin Timberlake was named the institution’s Hasty Pudding Man of the Year on Tuesday.
Hasty Pudding Theatricals, the country’s oldest undergraduate drama troupe, said in a statement that the singer, songwriter, actor and producer was selected because he’s “one of pop culture’s most influential entertainers.” Justin will receive the award at a roast set for Feb. 5.
Anne Hathaway was tapped as the organization’s “Woman of the Year” earlier this month. Her celebratory parade will take place on the Harvard campus Jan. 28.
The Pudding Pot, as the award is called, has been bestowed upon James Franco, Renee Zellweger, Scarlett Johansson, Christopher Walken, Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr., Sandra Bullock, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Drew Barrymore, in recent years.
