Justin Bieber says he wants 'to live like Jesus'

  • Justin Bieber spoke about his religious faith in a new interview, claiming that he wants to "live like Jesus" but "not be Jesus".

    "I love talking about my faith," the pop singer recently told Complex. "I think that with Christians, they’ve left such a bad taste in people’s mouths. Just like, overly pushy with the subject, overly churchy and religious. People, as soon as they start hearing me saying I’m a Christian, they’re like, 'Whoa Justin, back up, take a step back.' Also, I do not want to shove this down anyone’s throat. I just wanna honestly live like Jesus. Not be Jesus — I could never — I don’t want that to come across weird.

    "You don’t need to go to church to be a Christian," he added. "If you go to Taco Bell, that doesn’t make you a taco."

    Bieber also spoke publicly about his arrest in Miami. The Canadian pop star – who recently topped the UK Singles Chart for the second week running – was arrested for drink-driving and driving without a valid licence in January 2014, and spent a night in jail. He had been pulled over at 4.09am after his yellow Lamborghini was spotted as one of two vehicles racing.

    He was released on a $2,500 (£1,505) bond, alongside his friend Khalil Amir Sharieff, whose bond was set lower, at $1,000 (£602).
