BEIJING, June 27 -- Justin Timberlake says he suffers
from a combination of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Attention Deficit
Disorder.
The 27-year-old singer revealed the condition affects
many parts of his daily life - right down to making sure objects are always
lined up perfectly.
Justin is quoted by website Collider.com as saying:
"I have OCD mixed with ADD. You try living with that. It's complicated."
OCD - which David Beckham, Jessica Alba and Cameron
Diaz have all admitted to suffering from - is a psychiatric anxiety disorder
often characterized by obsessive thoughts, compulsions or rituals.
ADD is a developmental disorder, and suffers often
complain of forgetfulness, distractibility and hyperactivity.
Justin has also admitted he is "addicted" to
performing live, and gets a thrill out of entertaining arenas packed with his
fans.
He explained: "I get butterflies. You just kind of
get caught up in the electricity of it. Oh, yeah, that still happens to this
day. And when that stops happening, you should stop.
"It's addictive, you know what I mean?"
Earlier this month, it was claimed Justin had been
arguing with his girlfriend Jessica Biel - who recently began living in Justin's
Los Angeles home - over the contents of their fridge.
A source said: "They are both used to doing things
their way and having specific things in the fridge.
"They've had to re-adjust where the beer, water and
peanut butter go to make room for each other's favourite foods."
