There’s one more fact I’d like to add to the list which I’m sure not many people knew…
76. Justin Bieber was born at 12:56am.
Some of you might wonder if Justin wears glasses or not as we have seen him during several outings where he sported spectacles, most recently on Feb 13 at the Nokia Plaza. Sometimes black. Sometimes white. Always thick.
This might lead to some confusion. And of course, knowing more true facts about Justin never hurt since we already know his shoe size, favorite color, favorite shows, favorite fruit….
Now you can add another fact to your memory bank. Justin does not need to wear glasses. He wears them purely for the look during appearances. (Hey, I’ve done the same thing. The only difference was that I didn’t make any appearances. lol )
Anyways, I think he looks rather cute with those glasses on. Should wear them more often.
