14 DAY TRIAL // Justin Bieber is the latest face and body for Calvin Klein underwear, and despite the fact that the first ads came out a while back, they’re still the topic of much debate and some controversy, mostly because of reports that he was a real brat on set and that CK may or may not have photoshopped his body to look bulkier and manlier.
A skit about this was to be expected on Saturday Night Live, and as you can see in the video below, SNL did not disappoint. Expect massive Belieber backlash for this.
Kate McKinnon and Cicely Strong are hilarious
The Justin Bieber in the skit is played by Kate McKinnon in a wig, XXS stuffed underwear and fake tattoos, while Cicely Strong plays a confused and visibly annoyed Lara Stone, the model who simply can’t handle the brat that is Bieber.
As in the original ads, Bieber plays the drums and tries to woo Lara with his ripped body, famous poses and good looks, while also trying to convince viewers that he’s all grown up. He’s so grown up that he has almost 75 percent of his arms covered in tattoos; but one on his torso made him go “owie.”
As noted above, there is a rumor going around that claims Bieber hit on Stone while shooting for the video, acted entitled by asking the CK people to go out of their way to make him look good, and was pretty much a pain in the neck.
The Bieber in the SNL skit is no different, except that he’s perhaps even more annoying: he yells and rants, tries to be sexy, dry humps Lara and the drums, and decides he’s had it with the modeling when he gets tired.
Words really don’t do any justice to this skit as to how hilarious it is, so we’ll just embed it below for your viewing pleasure.
The Photoshop controversy
However, SNL doesn’t touch on the Photoshop controversy, which broke shortly after the ads came out, when a photo purported to be from the shoot, before retouching, “leaked” online, showing that Bieber had everything from his muscles to his crotch made to look bigger.
That photo was eventually proved to be fake and the website that released it after obtaining it from an “inside source” apologized to Bieber, but not before his camp threatened them with a lawsuit.
No wonder SNL didn’t want any of that. However, they didn’t hold anything back in suggesting that the pop star had his crotch stuffed for the ads.
