Because 2021 doesn’t occur in a vacuum and still bears the stigma of riding on 2020’s raggedy coattails, we are faced with PTSD-inducing visuals like the one you see above. Justin Bieber has singlehandedly decided to destroy whatever hope we’d all had for a new beginning and remind us that all the things we wished we could have left behind in The Year From Hell, are still quietly crushing our souls whether we pay attention to them or not. And attention, as usual, is the order of the day. Not only are we cursed with the blinding image of Biebs in his Calvins, but he is going to torture our delicate ear mechanisms with a fresh round of hateful caterwauling in the form of his new song, Anyone. By the time he’s done with us, we won’t have any senses left!
According to The New York Post, Justin’s tattoo concealment session was for the making of the video for Anyone:
In a new music video, Justin Bieber plays an old-timey boxer who falls in love with a woman played by Zoey Deutch.
Bieber premiered his new song and video, “Anyone,” during a New Year’s Eve performance that had Beverly Hills, California residents up in arms.
Although the video stars Deutch, Bieber is obviously singing to his wife, Hailey, with lyrics including: “That you are the only one I will ever love, if it’s not you, it’s not anyone,” and, “Looking back on my life, you’re the only good thing I’ve ever done, if it’s not you it’s not anyone.”
Clearly inspired by “Rocky,” Bieber, 26, dons a sleeveless sweatsuit and drinks raw eggs while he preps to fight. Thanks to special effects, the many tattoos on his neck, arms and chest don’t appear in the video.
Here’s the video for Anyone, with the sizzling heat and hot kiss between Biebs and not-Hailey Bieber, though you know he was totally thinking of her at the time:
And here is the tattoo cover-up session with Biebs sporting what looks like a designer diaper that will need to be changed into something far more absorbent for overnight. This is the first time in ages we’ve seen his chesticle area free of his usual tattooed biblical wildlife safari that looks like a poorly managed, money-bleeding theme park visited while under the influence of tainted crack rocks after inhaling an entire box of Frosted Flakes during an Animal Channel marathon.
But the real question is, what do beleaguered Tío Alec and Tía Hilaria think of their famous nephew-in-law?
