Childhood Photos of Celebrities: Justin Bieber

Photographs of celebrities from their childhood are always interesting to behold. They reveal the humanity and simplicity of famous people sometimes long before handlers, publicists, and managers control their image the person projects in public.

In the case of singer Justin Bieber, who is technically still living his childhood since he's only 19-years-old. Additionally, the young Bieber has a tendency to not act his age but rather his shoe size. Bieber has recently taken to adding tattoos to this body that give him the graffiti-like appearance of an abandoned school.

So what was life like for Bieber before he achieved all of his life's dreams by age 18? Well, the photographs reveal a handsome young lad who is not at all different from other boys his age. He played soccer as seen in one photograph and ice hockey; He'd hardly be a Canadian if he didn't play the latter sport. The photos seem in indicate he longed for male companionship such as offered by a father-figure. In fact, many of his pictures show him with older male counterparts which men seem to be avuncular to him.

Would that Bieber had such role models now as opposed to the gangsta-type ilk he currently lets crash at his crib.
