Singer Justin Bieber's manager Scooter Braun says the teen sensation was overwhelmed when actor Will Smith took time out to counsel him.
Braun said that around the time when Bieber returned from his world tour in May, Will, whose son Jaden is friends with Bieber, pulled the 19-year-old out of bed for a three-hour talk, reports hollywoodreporter.com.
Bieber's reaction, according to Braun: "He said, 'Man, that makes me feel so loved. I woke up, and there's Will Smith, one of, if not the, biggest movie stars on the planet. He took time out of his day for me."
Now, Bieber and Smith talk on a weekly basis to go over any potential issues, emotional or otherwise.
Bieber has been criticised for various acts like posting photographs on Instagram in which he is seen drinking beer despite being underage, smoking weed and urinating in a public area.
