Justin Timberlake has hinted that he may make his long-awaited return to music this summer.

The former N*Sync singer and actor said he was considering making his return because he is currently not committed to any forthcoming movie roles.

"I think I may spend some time in the studio this summer," he told E! Online. "I'm unemployed right now.

"I haven't been hired for anything so I may hire myself to write some music...It's right around the corner."

Timberlake has been on a break from music in order to pursue his acting career, which included an acclaimed performance in the Oscar-nominated movie, The Social Network.
