Justin Bieber Will Be the 'First Thing You See' in “Zoolander 2”

Peter Yang(LOS ANGELES) — Justin Bieber’s first major movie acting role will be in the long-awaited Zoolander sequel, Zoolander 2, but he doesn’t just have a part in the movie: he’ll be the first thing you see.

Speaking to Women’s Wear Daily, Justin says, “I start the movie off. The first thing you see in the movie, which is pretty cool. I do this whole, like, parkour sequence. I’ve never really done something like that before.” 

For the uninitiated, “parkour” is a term for propelling yourself from point A to point B — usually in an urban area — by running, jumping, vaulting, rolling and other body movements. It’s been featured in movies like Casino Royale and The Bourne Ultimatum.

Justin adds of Zoolander 2’s star and director, “I didn’t expect Ben [Stiller] to be so hands-on…. It was really cool to have him direct me in such a non threatening way. I wasn’t intimated at all.”

The singer also says he’s working on his new album, noting, “You’ll find yourself in the studio for months at a time and find nothing and then all of the sudden it’s like bang, bang, bang and you get [ideas] like one after the other.”  He adds, “Finally you get in a rhythm and a motion, and I feel like that’s where I’m at, just kind of finally collecting all of the songs that I want to come out.”

As for why he spoke to Women’s Wear Daily, Justin discusses his second job as a Calvin Klein underwear model and hints that he wants to design his own clothing line.  However, he notes, “It’s just such a big deal…I just want to make sure it’s perfect and right and take my time with it.”  He adds, “It’s about trial and error and I don’t know if I’m ready for that yet. Fashion’s definitely really important, but I got to make sure I’m ready for the failing part of it because I know that comes with it. It’s not easy. It’s not like putting out an album.”

Commenting on his recent bad behavior, Justing tells WWD, “I don’t think anyone has really doubted my musical capability and that’s what has sustained me this long, through all the negative stuff that’s been portrayed of me.”

“People wanted me to apologize, which I don’t know if it’s really fair,” he adds. “I’ll definitely take responsibility…as I’m growing but I’ll never apologize for being human and making mistakes…It’s been a cool learning process. I’m really happy where I am right now, that’s for sure.”
