How Justin Bieber Turned His Bad-Boy Reputation Around in Time for His 22nd Birthday
- 8 years ago
When Justin Bieber decides enough is enough, he doesn't mess around.
The Grammy-winning pop star celebrates his 22nd birthday today, the milestone seemingly coinciding with the recent culmination of a long-running apology tour intended to liberate him from a reputation tarnished by messy legal woes and a tumultuous personal life played out in the public eye.
Bieber's late teens and early twenties put him in danger of becoming that infamous Hollywood cliché, as the bright-eyed child star with genuine talent weathered a year-and-a-half-long spiral that included a DUI arrest , vandalism allegations and an open-ended breakup with Selena Gomez .
Aptly titled Purpose , his platinum-selling fourth studio album reflected Justin's maturation, and his fans-only mildly discouraged by an idol that let them down-ate it right up.
