| @hollywoodreporter: This week’s cover story goes behind the scenes with @justinbieber & @scooterbraun. Head to THR.com for the full story |
Justin and Scooter Braun covers THR magazine. Editorial director of The Hollywood Reporter @janicebmin tweeted:
Justin Bieber and his manager Scooter Braun on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter magazine, out November 29. Here’s an excerpt from the cover story:
When asked about his hip-hop attitude, this is what Justin had to say:
I'm very influenced by black culture, but I don't think of it as black or white. It's not me trying to act or pose in a certain way. It's a lifestyle -- like a suaveness or a swag, per se. But I don't really like to say the word ['swag'] anymore. It's kind of played out.
The Hollywood eporter continues, that when Braun brought Bieber to Atlanta to record his first album, he says he took the responsibility of watching over a then-13-year-old very seriously.
I changed my lifestyle because I had to be a role model.
When Justin was younger, it was, ‘Keep him out of trouble, stop him from falling down, protect him as much as you can from anything that can hurt him.’ ” Today, Braun admits it’s a different dynamic.
“When I try to do that now, he’s resentful, he pushes away and rebels.
What I’ve come to learn is: Be there, give the best advice you can, but he has to be allowed to make his own decisions — and his own mistakes.
It was a lesson learned the hard way for Bieber and Braun as the two found themselves increasingly at odds with each other over the past year.
I saw the rebellion, I saw our relationship being hurt. We were struggling in talking to each other because I wasn’t having conversations about anything good anymore. It was constantly calling to say, ‘No!’ “
Bieber doesn’t disagree:
It’s like how a parent sees their kid. Scooter was like the father figure in my life. But when I started to grow up, it was hard for him to have to listen to my input. I want to be me, to show everybody who I am as an individual. I don’t want to just be a puppet.
At the same time, Braun has gotten heat for what many see as being an enabler. Says the industry insider:
When you’re constantly telling your teen artist what a genius they are and saying yes to everything they ask, it ultimately harms them.
Fittingly enough: One of the most off-the-cuff and real scenes in Believe involves director Chu asking Bieber if anyone’s ever told him “no.” The teen pauses for a minute to think, then answers with a smile: “No,” as the room explodes in laughter.

Here is what Justin Bieber has to say on Hollywood Reporter cover: 'I Don't Give a F--- What People Say' http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/justin-bieber-blasts-haters-rare-657535 …
Justin isn´t perfect and I think the problem is that most people are stuck to the past and the memory of him being a 13 year old boy. 6 years have passed so fast, he is still the same person but grow up now and of course he wants to live his life and make his own mistakes because that is how you learn things sometimes, you have to go through situations and hit walls and have a really hard time before things get better and you start enjoying what you so have. We can´t always protect him even if we wanted to, because most of us think of him as the young boy, innocent and all, but he has a strong soul and he can go through this.
