According to the Trolls actor, 35, the toddler — whom he shares with wife Jessica Biel — did not inherit his intelligence from his father.

“He keeps up with all the words to ‘Can’t Stop the Feeling,’ it’s kind of crazy,” Timberlake told Ellen DeGeneres. “I feel like I’m that guy who’s just bragging about his kid on national TV. But, he’s pretty rad.”

“One of the perks of doing this film was that I got to screen it early for my son, and he already knows all the characters,” the proud dad said. “He knows, like, 12 different characters. He’s a genius, he really is.”

Making Silas’ second Halloween particularly special, Timberlake and Biel, 34 — who tied the knot in October 2012 — dressed up with their son as characters from the DreamWorks film.
