Justin Bieber Debuts Surprising New Look

Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek’s network of contributors

Justin Bieber turned 31 on March 1 and seemingly decided to switch his style up shortly after.

Bieber had been rocking a generally scruffy look for the past few months before he was recently spotted in West Hollywood, California with a clean-shaven face.

The Canadian native was photographed on Tuesday, March 11, according to a report by People that was published on Wednesday, March 12.

The outlet also mentioned that the “Baby” singer’s new sharp look comes after he was seen with a mustache and scruffy beard as recently as Monday, March 10.

This is the second sudden transformation the pop star has made this calendar year. Bieber chopped off all his hair and returned to a clean buzz cut in January.

Fans of the “Never Say Never” singer most recently expressed their concern about Bieber’s health in the comments section of a post where he is sitting on an e-bike, seemingly smoking out of a bong.

“Dude! No, get a grip on your life! You are a father now!” wrote one seemingly upset fan.

“Just keep in mind whatever you post is forever. Your child will see it someday,” a second fan warned Bieber.

“Don’t do this to yourself, don’t do this to us! 😭,” pleaded a third.

Concerns over Bieber’s health were raised as far back as February when rumors about the singer abusing drugs surfaced after fans noticed changes in his looks and behavior.

TMZ released a statement on February 23 in which a member of Bieber’s team assured the outlet that the speculation about his drug use was false. They also noted that the “Baby” singer had a “very transformative” year before they explained, “as he ended several close friendships and business relationships that no longer served him.”
