Justin Bieber snags another magazine cover and opportunity to tell the world how much ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez means to him.

Fresh off his feature in Billboard, the 21-year-old worldwide superstar covers i-D magazine and we have to say, those platinum blonde locks are growing on us.

Winking at the camera, the young singer lets his hair (which may, arguably, be more famous than he is) sway to one side – so as not to wash out his handsome face and the stubble that whispers, “Yes, I’m a man now.”

Inside, Biebs talks about his reputation, relationship with longtime manager Scooter Braun, seeing Straight Outta Compton by himself, and that old thing we all know he wants back.

On ex-flame Selena Gomez:

“I think with that relationship…I put so much of myself on the line with her, because I was so distant with everyone else. So it’s like, you have the world who’s loving you but it’s not like they know my heart — they don’t know me. So when I found that love I was just like, ‘Whoa, I want to hold on to this.’ And I just put everything into it and in reality there’s just no holding back. You’re just like, ‘This love feels so good.’”

On how he bumped into Straight Outta Compton:

“I was at this party,” he says, supine on a heavily embroidered daybed, scratching his chin as if on the therapist’s couch. “I was playing poker and there was a lot going down. I thought, ‘I’ve got to dip’. And right round the corner was [a screening of] ‘Straight Outta Compton’ and so I thought, ‘I’ll just go and see this by myself.’”

The checkout assistant started when she registered who was buying the ticket. “I think she was a little nervous, for sure. She was tripping out.” Bieber was thrilled with the decision, not just with the restraint he’d shown at leaving the party before it left him, but with his viewing choice too. “It was so good,” he says.

On his relationship with Scooter Braun:

“Scooter is probably one of the smartest people that I have ever met. Very, very, very strategic. Always on. Always thinking of more things to do and more things to accomplish. He keeps me driven, for sure. Because the artist always wants to chill. Like, ‘I made my money. I just want to chill’. But he figures out ways for me to get excited about what I want.”

On smoking weed and Snoop Dogg:

“I mean, honestly, it’s just about perception. At the end of the day, there are people who don’t think that’s good. And if they don’t feel that’s good then I don’t want to make people feel uncomfortable. So I’m not going to put it in their face. You’ll never see me smoking. Because that is not who I am. If it’s something I do then it’s something I do, but it’s not who I am and what I want to put on blast for the world to see. Like, who’s Snoop Dogg? That’s the dude who smokes a lot of weed. That’s become his identity almost. And I don’t want my identity to be anything but who I am and what my music is portraying me to be.”

So, who is the real Justin Bieber? “I’m just a nice guy,” he says slyly in a behind-the-scenes clip from the shoot. Check that out below, and click here to read the rest of his cover story from i-D’s Winter 2015 The Here and Now issue.
