His wife, Jessica Biel, couldn’t help but gush over his photo in the comments. “Literally every hat looks good on you, but this is my favorite one,” she said.
Other celebrities also left congratulatory messages, including Josh Brolin, Lily Collins, and Reese Witherspoon.
Dwayne Johnson even cracked a joke, “Congrats my friend. So technically, you can now examine a new “rash” I’ve developed.”
Timberlake was one among the three musicians (including singers Missy Elliot and Alex Laccamoire) given honorary doctorates in music degrees by Berklee College, recognized for his influence on pop music and multiple awards.
“You’re defined by what you define failure as. It’s not a thing if it leads you to your success. It’s all part of the journey,” he said in his acceptance speech. “I hope that in the years to come, two things will happen: One, I will represent you in the way that you most hope for. And two, I look around and see this graduating class. Meet me at the studio. I want to see y’all!”
