April 15, 2016

Husband and wife team Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel have been working on a new film together, The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea. Which Jessica doubled as one of the stars and producers of the drama, Justin oversaw the film's music.

Opening up about their working relationship, Jessica, 34, admitted that she likes to think of herself as her husband's boss. Laughing, the actress said: "I mean, I like to say that I was his boss, but I wasn't really acting as his boss. So we had a good working relationship."

Jessica added that she didn't have to "micromanage" her husband. "He's much better left to his own devices," she told Entertainment Tonight.

The Minnesota-born beauty also spoke about finding the balance between her Hollywood career of acting and producing, and being a good mother to adorable Silas, Jessica and Justin's one-year-old son.

"I just want to continue doing it all," said Jessica. "It's fun. I mean I know it's hard and it's getting harder because you have to split your time and find that balance but I just so enjoy finding these stories and creating something that I have more of my stamp on as opposed to just giving a performance and crossing my fingers and hoping for the best."

In the new film Jessica plays Penny, a woman who is killed in a car accident. Her husband Henry, an introverted architect, sets out to help Millie, a homeless teen played by Maisie Williams, build a raft to sail across the Atlantic.
