Justin Bieber Birthday: 13 Weird Facts About Hailey Baldwin's Husband
It's Justin Bieber's birthday! Hailey Baldwin's husband is turning 27 this Monday.
Bieber remains one of the biggest pop stars in the world over a decade since releasing his debut EP in 2009. While fans know a lot about the singer through social media and reports, from his past romance with Selena Gomez to his antics, there may be some little things that they have missed.
In honor of Bieber's birthday, here are 13 weird and interesting facts about the Canadian superstar that fans may not know.
1. Fans had a name for his penis
Fans of the crooner can get as weird as weird gets. In an interview back in 2015, Bieber confessed that his supporters actually came up with a name for his package after nude photos of him surfaced.
"The fans do, they call it 'Jerry,'" said the pop star.
2. He speaks French fluently
As if being a talented singer wasn't enough, Bieber is also fluent in speaking French and can even count to 10 in German.
3. He's claustrophobic
The singer is uncomfortable being in crowded spaces, according to Teen Vogue.
4. He regrets not saving himself for marriage
Last year, the Canadian superstar admitted in his and wife Hailey's Facebook Watch series, "The Biebers on Watch," that he wished he had remained a virgin until marriage.
The topic came up during a Q&A session on the series when one fan asked if there is anything the singer would like to change if he could go back in time.
“I don’t regret anything because I think it makes you who you are, you learn from things, but if I could go back and not have to face some of the bad hurt that I went through, yeah, I would’ve probably saved myself for marriage," he shared.
Bieber explained, "I know this sounds crazy, but I don’t think it’s too much information, I think it’s helpful. Sex can be kind of, uh, confusing when you’re just kind of being sexually active with anybody…it’s just true. I would have probably saved myself for marriage.”
5. Bieber taught himself how to play several instruments
The singer taught himself how to play the piano, trumpet and guitar and took drum lessons while growing up in Stratford, Ontario. He also received some help on the guitar from his dad, Jeremy Bieber.
One of the first songs he learned on the guitar was Bob Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door."
6. "The Notebook" is one of his favorite films
A softie for romance films, Bieber confessed that "The Notebook" is one of his favorite movies. But who doesn't want to have a good cry over a Nicholas Sparks movie every now and then?
7. He has the internet to thank for his fame
