During his press conference to promote his Super Bowl halftime performance on Thursday, Justin Timberlake said he will never allow his son to play football.

Timberlake and actress Jessica Biel are the parents of 2-year-old Silas.

After jokingly offering to suit up to play wide receiver if the Patriots needed him, Timberlake was asked by a reporter if he would "support it if [Silas] wanted to run some routes and get in the NFL."

Timberlake responded: "Uh, he will never play football. No, no."

He added: "I mean, yeah, it's kind of like that thing where my main objective is that he become a great person. And if he wants to get into the arts or sports, then yeah, I would fully support that. I think I can hopefully offer him some advice on what to do and what not to do, so yeah, but right now we're working on our manners. That's a big deal in our house right now. It's like, one thing at a time."
