Justin Timberlake lost his cool after he was hit in the face by a spectator.

Timberlake, 35, was greeting fans at the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship at Lake Tahoe in Nevada on Saturday when a man reached out and touched his face.

The Cry Me A River singer, who was surrounded by security, stopped and turned in a bid to find the culprit.

Clearly angered by the incident, he said: “Bro, why would you do that?”

Tournament officials “saw it as a minor incident,” according to TMZ which also reported that Timberlake didn't want to press charges.

The publication claimed the situation escalated when Sheriff's deputies attempted to escort the man off of the course.

He was allegedly “intoxicated” and refusing to move which TMZ reported led to his arrest for disorderly conduct.

Fans were excited to see Timberlake at the annual championship, and the star entertained crowds with the 'Carlton' dance.

The singer, who scored a total of 20 points during the three day event, joined Alfonso Ribeiro and Steph Curry to bust out the famous Fresh Prince of Bel-Air move.
