See Justin Bieber’s complete nude photo before he deletes it

This past week, Justin Bieber took a walk down memory lane and posted a vintage Instagram of himself and his ex-girlfriend, Selena Gomez, mid-smooch. The “Sorry” singer captioned the photo “Feels.” His series of quizzical, nostalgic social media posts have many fans—who also happen to enjoy easy puns—now thinking: “What Do You Mean?” The Jelena will-they-won’t-they plot thickened when Gomez commented on Bieber’s post, writing, “Perfect,” and later made an appearance at his concert. While their Ross-and-Rachel–style romance continues to unspool, here are two things you likely never knew about Justin Bieber.

1. Many people were first introduced to Bieber as Usher’s baby-faced protégé, but it turns out that another celebrity had his eye on the rising star: Justin Timberlake. At age 12, Bieber was discovered on YouTube and eventually flew to Atlanta to meet with several music executives to show off his sweet vocals and windswept ’do. But Bieber didn’t get the chance to perform and returned to Canada without giving a formal audition. “[Usher] actually watched my videos and was like, ‘Man, I should have let this kid sing,’” he said in 2009. “And he flew me back to Atlanta. I got to sing for him, and then a week later, I had a meeting with Justin Timberlake. They both kind of wanted me.”

2. When Bieber was 16 years old, he landed a gig playing a “troubled teen” on CSI. “I got a call that Justin really was a fan of CSI [and] that’s all I have to hear, and so it just was perfect timing,” executive producer Carol Mendelsohn said in 2010. “Justin was looking to make his dramatic acting debut. We had an incredible role for a young actor in [our season premiere], so it just seemed like the perfect marriage.” His role on the show was short-lived; his character was shot and killed in the second episode of the season. “It was really cool,” Bieber said of the experience of being gunned down on-screen. “There’s fake blood and everything. It’s crazy how the whole process is.”
