You don’t like him, but your daughter does: 30 memories from Justin Bieber’s 30th birthday

What were you doing in 2010? You may not remember, but probably at some point that year you heard —spontaneously or even involuntarily— at least a snippet of “Baby”, a Justin Bieber hit that was ubiquitous on radio and in clubs at the time. It was the loving lyrics that made the name of the Canadian, then a 16-year-old brat, echo around the world. Teenage fever even had a name: “Bieber Fever”.

The pace of successes achieved remained intense and proportional to the amount of records broken and money raised by the boy. Bieber had a good face, a haircut copied around the world, but he seemed to want to give off the image of a bad boy. He was caught in fights in nightclubs, car fights or naked on paradisiacal beaches. He was even arrested.

The singer, who turns 30 this Friday (1st), reaches his new age married to model Hailey Bieber, the influencer of the moment, and says he is more Christian than ever, a loving brother and devoted uncle. Between ups and downs, the “beliebers”, as the ardent members of his fan club are known, remain by his side, especially after health problems such as the diagnosis of Lyme syndrome and facial paralysis became public.
