In the new clip for Justin Bieber’s “As Long As You Love Me” the teen pop star gets beat up, which is just what you’ve always wanted to see, right? The video, which premiered this morning, brings us a bloodied and slightly more mature version of the singer.
.

The movie-like video kicks off with Kill Bill actor Michael Madsen telling Bieber that his daughter needs to be “with a man not a boy, and that’s what you are.” Bieber says he loves her and Madsen says well, cool, but he doesn’t want anyone to leave his daughter and break her heart. Now get out of here, Bieber, Madsen says and take your slick hair-do with you (he doesn’t really say that last part). And the poor pop star is so sad that he, of course, starts singing. The rest of the tale is gritty and involves some dancing and a lot of punches thrown. Oh, and Big Sean shows up. Watch below:

So the dance parts in the middle – is this the choreography Usher rejected for his last video and handed over to Bieber to use? Seriously, though, this is clearly a more grown-up clip for the singer. We like the edgier visuals and more adult narrative. It actually makes Bieber look like a real pop star instead of a teen boy. Sure it’s pretty dramatic and the story of boy meets girl, girl’s dad hates boy is pretty played out, but it feels like a solid step up for Bieber. We’d love to say that he’s become the man Michael Madsen always wanted him to be, but there’s still a ways to go.
