"Album cover for the future," quipped one X user.
"He's still high," commented another.
"I guess his steps weren't NSYNC?" joked a different commenter.
"He shows no remorse," another person opined.
"And still looks GOOD," stated one who appeared to be a fan.
"Finally, a legit photo 'cause I wasn't believing just all the articles," said someone else.
The former NSYNC member was pulled over by the police on Monday night when he ignored a stop sign after leaving the bar and was seen unable to stay within the driving lane.
"A traffic stop was initiated by a police officer from the Sag Harbor Village Police Department, and upon investigation, it was determined that Mr. Timberlake was operating his vehicle in an intoxicated condition," the police said in a statement.
At the time, JT reportedly argued that he only "had one martini, and I followed my friends home."
