He began training in the school’s drama club, while Lorne also took Justin onto the sets of series he was shooting for. Upon matriculating from high school, Justin didn’t pursue a college degree, but focused on his acting career.

His latest role in a TV series has been in the comedy “Sons of Tucson” in 2010.

Love life and relationships

Justin has been keeping the details of his love life hidden from the media’s curiosity, and because he hasn’t talked about any girls he might have dated, there are rumors circulating the internet that the popular actor’director is gay.

It’s believed that Justin was romantically linked to Haley Egeana Giraldo, the daughter of the famous American singer and actress Pat Benatar. Justin and Haley have known each other since they were kids, and a rumor has it that they were dating for several years sometime in the 2000s. However, in 2017 Haley married Matt Williams, who is a model and a bodybuilder.

Justin is currently single, hasn’t married, and doesn’t have children.

Hobbies and other interests

Justin likes to travel, and has been all around the US for both work and pleasure, while he’s also visited countries in Europe such as England and Germany, and in Asia such as China and Japan. He is very sporting, and is playing soccer and tennis while he also has several training sessions at the gym each week, thus his muscular body. He has been taking Tang Soo Do karate lessons for years now, and holds a third degree red belt. Justin enjoys fishing, and his Instagram account is flooded with pictures of fishes that he’s caught. He likes to do real estate investing for fun, and once bought a house belonging to the famous actress and singer Jessica Simpson, and then sold it for a larger amount of money.

He is interested in doing charity work and volunteering, and served for three years as the National Youth Ambassador for the Ronald McDonald House charity organization. Justin has also donated money to The Virgin Foundation and the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

He is a huge fan of the movie franchise “Star Wars”, and in 1999 he auditioned to play Anakin Skywalker (Darth Vader) in “Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace”, but the role eventually went to Jake Lloyd.
