Justin Bieber teared up in a recent interview, explaining why he feels protective over Billie Eilish — not wanting fame to get to her the way it did him.
Before Usher discovered his talent and helped him sign his first record deal with Island Def Jam Records, he was just a kid singing covers on YouTube, living a relatively normal life.
Back in September 2019, he opened up on Instagram about how being famous lead him to use drugs.
"Have u noticed the statistics of child stars and the outcome of their life? There is an insane pressure and responsibility put on a child who's brain, emotions, frontal lobes (decision making) aren't developed yet."
"But when you add the pressure of stardom it does something to you that is quite unexplainable. You see I didn't grow up in a stable home, my parents were 18 separated with no money still young and rebellious as well."
"I went from a 13 year old boy from a small town to being praised left and right by the world with millions saying how much they loved me and how great I was."
"So by this point I was 18 with no skills in the real world, millions of dollars and access to whatever I wanted," he continued.
"And went from one of the most loved and adored people in the world to the most ridiculed, judged, hated person in the world!"
"And I believe its due to not being able to manage the huge ups and downs that come with being an entertainer."
"I became distant to everyone who loved me, and I was hiding behind, a shell of a person that I had become."
"But yeah, just protecting the moment because people take for granted encounters," he said beginning to tear up.
"I don’t want her to go through anything I went through. I don’t wish that upon anybody."
I'm sure Billie really appreciates having one of the biggest stars of all time in her corner!
In a recent interview with Apple music's Zane Lowe, he explained how he wants to "protect" Billie Eilish.
In response to seeing Justin's interview, Billie took to Instagram to promote his new album, Changes, sharing a clip from his interview and photos that prove she has been a fan of Justin's for a long time.
