Justin Bieber Takes a Beating in “As Long As You Love Me” Video

The day has come: Justin Bieber has just dropped his latest music video. Coming to support his single “As Long As You Love Me,” it features actor Michael Madsen and is closer to a short film than to a regular music video.

Check it out in full above.

Clearly, The Biebs is working hard to shed his boyish image and having Madsen beat him up in a video when he's trying to flee with his only daughter is just the way to do that.

All jokes aside, this video stands out for how elaborate and, yes, mature it is. Even though Bieber doesn't really get the girl in the end (or does he?), at least he's shown Madsen that he too can take a beating like be a man.

Enjoy!
