Bieber: From Boy to Man

by Oliver Broudy

Journalist Oliver Broudy spent a day talking with mega pop star Justin Bieber as they cruised Beverly Hills in his Rolls Phantom—shopping at Saint Laurent, dodging crazed fans, consulting his health guru, pumping iron at an elite club, and dining at Spago’s. In the whisper quiet of the Rolls Justin slowly reveals himself. After building a career on youthful charisma he says he’s finally ready to leave the boyish persona behind and become a man. But are you ready to believe him?
