From his no-photo rule to the no-screaming demands in concert, it's been an exhausting year to be a Belieber.
However, it looks like we're going to gain some insight and understanding as to what it means to be Justin Bieber and experience the hysteria in a celebrity landscape that offers little to no room for mishaps.
In a clip from the forthcoming documentary, Bodyguards: Secret Lives from the Watchtower, which surfaced on Monday, Mikey Arana, the pop star's director of security, shares some thoughts on what it means to be in charge of Bieber's safety as his career has progressed.
"As fans have grown, they're more likely to engage him in a conversation than to grab him and literally rip him apart," Arana reveals in the clip.
"I remember when I first started with him – it may sound crazy, but three, four [emotional] little girls – they have so much strength that they would literally rip his shirt, take off his hoodie. And if it's a big crowd, you could lose him in the crowd … But as the fans have grown with him, so has their approach to be able to just come up to him and go, 'Hey Justin, how are you?' and engage in conversation."
Later on in the doc, Bieber sounded off on his fanbase and their growth for connection. "They actually want to act a little bit more sane so that maybe they get my attention because at this point, if you're screaming and super overwhelming, it's hard for me to connect with you," he said.
Directed by Jaren Hayman, Bodyguards: Secret Lives from the Watchtower also features the security of folks like 50 Cent, Nelson Mandela, Whitey Bulger and more. The film hits theatres and on-demand on Dec. 2.
