Timberlake to climb Mount Kilimanjaro

Justin Timberlake has signed up to scale Mount Kilimanjaro to raise awareness of the global water crisis.

The singer will join rapper Lupe Fiasco and singer Kenna in the ascent of the Tanzanian mountain this autumn.

Justin told GQ magazine: “I’ve been training four times a week to get my VO2 (oxygen consumption) levels up to expand my lungs.”

“We’ll climb a week straight, carrying 30 pounds on our backs. It’s going to be intense, but it is going to be so rewarding. We are going to be ready for it.”
