Presenting GQ’s May 2021 cover star: Justin Bieber

whatevs, never bothered and not gonna start now

A nice-looking young man (as my mother would say) who seems hell-bent on uglifying himself.

He has beautiful eyes

He’s really quite beautiful, but ugh those tattoos are tragic. Fashion victim, psychologically damaged, or just plain white trash?

Gross. What has happened to GQ? They used to put handsome, well-groomed men on the cover (well, except that one misstep of putting Trump).

Is that a tattoo of a cross next to his left eye or a cross shaped freckle?

R9, that's a cross. Obviously, there's a theme.

he's all growed up now

Leg.

He's a no-talent moron who got very, very lucky.

He really should avoid press until the transition is complete. Nobody wants to see the process.

He sure can string together a lot of meaningless cliches about personal growth.

That hair is getting thin. My god,he couldnt look more like white trash if he tried . Go to any low income neighborhood and theres 50 that look just like him,except hes still got his teeth. All that money and looks like the poorest of poor.

People used to strive to better themselves instead of looking like trash.

Wow, he must be really tough. You can tell by all those tattoos!!

He used to me a goodlooking kid. Now he's ruined himself with that trash art. Like Bob Harper and David Bromstad and Ricky Martin. All once goodlooking men who've gone overboard with the tats.

Does his new album have yet another song about how rough his life has been and how misunderstood he is, like all the others do.

He's still the King of Pop and outsells Harry Styles and Shawn Mendes by a mile. Shawn's career is already over at 20.

GQ is just embarrassing and cringe-worthy lately. JB is the perfect cover model.

Like the above poster said, you could go to any trailer park and find a bunch of guys who looked just like Bieber. He's just gross.

Yikes, what a mess.

Remember when he was modeling Calvin Klein underwear with a lot less tattoos. He was at least some what handsome then.

He has those vacant empty eyes in r9 like Britney Spears.

Is he really GQ material? I mean, who are his fans? GQ magazine buyers?

Madness. Utter madness.

No R27.

GQ has fallen off. Rolling Stone has fallen off.

Magazines have fallen off.

[quote]He was at least some what handsome then.

Not really

He got extremely lucky. When he was young he looked like a Helix Studios porn model reject. When he got trashy tattoos and wore those awful, bedazzled caps and those oversized diaper trousers he looked like a tool, and when he got the shaggy hair and mustache he looked like a trailer park redneck cooking meth in his trailer.

At least he's not a flabby like Rococo Madonna

r32 Reject? Please! Helix studios has never had a model as good looking as Justin Bieber.

Hasn’t P!nk done that ariel shit to death already?

[quote]doing what I believe that God wants me to do

Right. COVID is decimating the planet, children die of cancer yet God personally cares about what you do.

You self involved narcissistic cunt FUCK.

This guy is ugly and those terrible tattoos don’t help.

GQ has gone from a style bible to total schlock. Unreadable and I wouldn't use to advise me on socks.

Did they ask him about the rip off church he’s associated with? Hillsong? Didn’t they have a LOT of scandal lately. Cult.

[quote] People used to strive to better themselves instead of looking like trash.

What's the point when the government will take care of us?

[quote]I believe that, at this point in my life, I’m right where I’m supposed to be, doing what I believe that God wants me to do.

Filthy, hanging upside-down, and covered in tattoos! 😀

This is why I no longer have a subscription to either GQ or Men's Health. I avoid issues with total douchebags on the cover.

He is not going to age well. Already showing signs.

Those tattoos look like a body fungus in the thumbnails.

I thought this was Aaron Carter. I need to get my eyes gouged.

omg, the retouching at R25 is crazy.

When is Beiber going to make the leap into movies? I need more Beiber!!

Why is GQ obsessed with putting ugly and average looking men on their cover?

Did God tell him to deface his body with more graffiti than an Oakland overpass?

At least he's not “a” flabby like Rococo Madonna

Those tattoos make him look so common. I don't see cute or handsome. I see smelly homeless skateboarder.

He looks a lot better than fugly Harry Styles.

Pass. Hard pass.

Most male pop stars are average to ugly. They also have to be non-threatening to appeal to young girls. Bieber was never anything special looks wise.

He's a philosopher and a poet. Appearance and material things don't matter to Beiber; he's all about the art.

When is he going to retire? He kept mentioning that. Now if disappeared and made a comeback 15 years later like D'Angelo or Fiona Apple I would be impressed.

I FF’d R55.

He's pretty, I'm sure he would laugh at elderly men judging his looks.

[quote]Most male pop stars are average to ugly.

Like Donny Osmond, Bobby Sherman, Tab Hunter, Paul Anka, The Cassidys, George Michael...

I feel like he had potential in the looks department but it looks like he's chosen the trailer trash route with all those tattoos.

I agree with R5, R8, R15 and R24. It is my opinion that you are correct, however, Justin has confirmed that it's what God wants him and GQ to do.

Celebrities are such trashbags now. Whatever happened to class?

R60, Justin said it's what God wanted him to do.

I can't be the only one who finds it fascinating at how triggered and venomously angry many DLers get over the good fortune of someone like Bieber.

R59 Why are you naming mostly older pop artists? Name some contemporary ones. Plus even that list some of those names are a matter of personal taste. The Cassidys and Osmonds fit the non-threatening image.

I agree with George Michael. I'd also throw in Elvis, Usher and Prince for all time. Chris Brown had potential before the drugs and tats.

Most male pop artists today like The Weeknd, Ed Sheehan, Harry Styles, etc are not goodlooking. Bieber destroyed his potential good looks. Shawn Mendes is only current pop artist that is good-looking but his looks are hitting a wall.

DLers have taste r64. Bieber is just another example of the coarse trashiness that our culture has slid into.

I think he looks much better than he has been in the last couple of years. He looks like he got off the drugs.

His music is awful and I'm legitimately surprised at how people actually enjoy it. I guess no accounting for taste... he needs talented black singers and rappers as features to get hits.

His music is complete shit. Autotuned garbage and yes he needs guest rappers and singers to have a hit.

Jesus obviously isn’t working, because this guy looks dead inside. And coupled to the dead eyes, the hideous tattoos have ruined his looks. Good luck getting those removed!

Miley Cyrus took his career.

Can we all agree that this peach suit is everything? Guys need to start wearing different colored suits other than navy.

It looks like they found a homeless guy and paid him in meth.

Why did Bieber marry Hailey? All the girls he dated before her were either Hispanic or Bi-racial. Was it in his contract that he had to marry the first White girl he dated or something? Plus she was a professional beard before she dated him. She broke up with Shawn Mendes and a week later she was with Bieber.

Gross. Someone cut those cords please.

[quote]Why are you naming mostly older pop artists?

Because only eldergays hang out here

Why did he ever break up with Usher, they seemed tight?

[quote] and when he got the shaggy hair and mustache he looked like a trailer park redneck cooking meth in his trailer.

And that’s hot to some of us. I would rather raw-dog one of those guys than some neon G-string-wearing, buzzed haircut/manscaped “yasss kween” bottom. There is nothing wrong with a mustache or long hair—he looked handsome and more manly than he ever had before. It’s the trashy, all-over tattoos that ruin him.
