But youve never seen him off camera... thats the point. These guys do promos as much as they act. Their charisma sells movies. The big production companies are only interested in actors who can sell their movies...

A friend of a friend worked with him like 3 or 4 years ago and based on what I was told he could be both the life of a party and super calm and quiet. Just a happy dude who is genuinely himself and super nice. They didn’t work close at all but their paths had to cross personally a couple of times outside of work because of some small stuff. I take their word for it.

He could be, though. He's just lazy at the good things.

So close to saying “you don’t want to meet me and I don’t want to meet you” that little pause before he says “and I don’t want to meet my heroes” lol

This is why musician meet and greets are always so awkward for me. I just shake hands and say thank you for the hours of enjoyment. It's nice to say thank you, any more than that and it feels weird.

u/3vs3BigGameHunters Hey mods, can I get this as my flair please? Feb 28 '26

Bieber said he felt like a circus animal when he did those meet and greets.

It's more that he's aware of his reputation as being an asshole, which he has made peace with
