He abandoned his music career in 2007 after releasing his multi-platinum second album 'FutureSex/LoveSounds', his last single being US top 10 'Summer Love'. He made several guest appearances on other artists' tracks such as Madonna's 2008 hit '4 Minutes' and Jamie Foxx's 'Winner' in 2010, but generally he's been focused on his acting career appearing in the likes of Academy Award winning Facebook flick 'The Social Network' and romcom 'Friends with Benefits' opposite Mila Kunis, as well as voicing the character of Arthur Pendragon in 'Shrek The Third'.
He is certainly not taking a break from film to concentrate on music though, and has a starring role in upcoming crime thriller 'Runner Runner' opposite Ben Affleck. In the movie he plays smart Princeton student Richie Furst who uses his math skills for online gambling in order to raise enough money for his studies. However, when he discovers an algorithm that cheats the players, he takes the matter up with gambling tycoon Ivan Block who enlists him into his business; though Richie has no idea how dangerous the powers are behind the organisation. The movie is set to be released on September 27th and we're expecting some intense scenes from this year's favourite superstar. 'I thought it was really well crafted', he told Collider.com. 'Then talking to Brad about it. he had all of these great visual ideas to kind of contemporize the movie.'>
