Justin’s Interview with Dagbladet

Justin Bieber met and talked about pop star hysteria with Dagbladet.

- Norway has been great. The weather has been neither too hot nor cold, I like that, and I have both been out bowling and eating sushi, so it has been fun to be here. I also met a wide range of fans, and they have been sweet and kind all together. Totally amazing, says Justin Bieber (18).

Dagbladet faced teen idol the day after he arrived in the country with his company - the first stop on a promo tour has been a lot of secrecy around.
A short time earlier, the company that maintains Bieber security in Norway “hijacked” a passenger in the basement at Royal Christiania hotel where Bieber is lodged, to drive him the most incognito the few hundred meters to Østbanehallen, where Bieber gives Dagbladet ten minutes of their precious time.
BesiegedNot that it did something: Thousands of youths, most of them girls, have gathered around the old railway station and yelling in unison each time the 18-year-old from Canada shows in the window.
Finally comes a message from the police that he must stop to wave to them - because they are temporary barriers are about to succumb. Nevertheless, almost drowns out the howling call. And a little later to Bieber tweets a plea for people to comply with police requests, so no one gets hurt.
- Can the fans sometimes go too far?
- Yes, it is clear what happens. Yet it is always great to meet them. I never think that I wish they were less affectionate, I love them just like they are, says Bieber - who responds politely and attentively to all questions, and only shows signs of irritation when he is being prosecuted by the full name.
- Call me Justin- Please - call me Justin. Imagine if everyone walked around and called you by both the first and last name, you would not have felt that it was a bit strange ‘, he says.
It is the first time Justin Bieber is in Norway - a country he also knows through his mother’s former assistant, who is Norwegian, and Norwegian director Ray Kay, who made the music video for his first big hit, “Baby” - currently the most watched music video on Youtube ever.
- Oh, Ray Kay is Norwegian? Cool! He is super talented, and yes, of course, I will work with him again. He has after all made the greatest music video ever, says Bieber.
Although he could well imagine combining the pop star life with film recordings. It applies only to find the right role.
- I have received lots of offers and are constantly on the new script and considering roles. Many artists have tried to become actors have chosen the wrong roles for them, so I try not to fall into their trap. It must be the perfect role, says Justin Bieber.
Finally, we ask him to sign a picture we have with - to give to one lucky reader Dagblad. It does Justin Bieber like, but think we could print it on a slightly smaller format.
- It seems the all the little imperfections mine, he says, laughing, and turns the pen.
