Gaunt, ‘Angry’ & Alone Justin Bieber Unrecognizable, Shocking Pics

Pop star Justin Bieber has recently gotten fans worried after his appearance in a few recent pics. Some fans suspect his appearance could reflect the current state of his home life. On the other hand, some fans defended his appearance, giving a more direct explanation as to why he looked different.
Justin Bieber Appeared In New York With A Buzzcut & Yellow Hoodie
Bieber is a Canadian singer who became established as a teen idol in the late 2000s. Over time, he has since become one of the best-selling music artists in the world.
However, fans have recently grown concerned about Bieber during a recent appearance in New York on January 29. At the time, he was seen walking around with a yellow hoodie and beige chinos. He also appeared to be wearing fuzzy slipper-style shoes.

As noted by The U.S. Sun, the pop star was noted for looking “hollow-eyed” in the photos. In addition, the star was seen with a buzzcut with his head shaven off.
Some fans felt he sported an emotionless expression, staring blankly, with others feeling he looked angry. He could also be seen with his tongue out, with some claiming he looked like he was deep in thought.

On social media, some noticed that he was without his wife, Hailey Baldwin. Bieber married Baldwin back in 2018, who is the daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin. As one fan wrote on social media, “So Hailey not there.”
Some Fans Didn’t Recognize Him, Others Felt It Was Perfectly Natural
As the publication noted, earlier this month, Justin had unfollowed his wife on Instagram. That said, Justin appeared to be on a social media purge, with him similarly unfollowing other friends and family members. However, the singer later refollowed his wife, claiming that someone had hacked into his account.
Some fans felt that they wouldn’t have recognized Bieber if they didn’t know it was him. One Reddit fan joked, “Thought that was David Beckham for a second.” Another similarly shared, “wtf happened to Justin?”

However, some comments from fans were a little more complimentary. As one wrote, “Angry looks sexy on him.”
Ultimately, some fans just thought Bieber was getting older and his change in appearance was perfectly natural. One fan commented, “He’s 30 and married with a kid.” They also added that people “don’t look 16 forever.”
