And in addition to trading lines with <a href="/news/articles/1691125/justin-bieber-michael-madsen-michael-jackson-connection.jhtml">Michael Madsen</a> in the Anthony Mandler-directed video, he also was willing to take a <a href="/news/articles/1691089/justin-bieber-michael-madsen-as-long-as-you-love-me-punch.jhtml">few punches from the "Kill Bill" star</a> for the sake of his art.</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Justin Bieber Dispels 'Fear' Remake Rumors, Confirms 'Men In Black' Cameo" id="vid:765696.id:1684329" width="415" height="255"></div><p></P><P>"This video, I wanted it to be a little bit more edgy and have that appeal, but I also wanted it to make sense with the song," he told <a href="http://www.eonline.com/news/336589/justin-bieber-talks-acting-handling-all-those-female-fans-more?cmpid=sn-000000-twitterfeed-365-topstories&utm_source=eonline&utm_medium=twitterfeed&utm_campaign=twitterfeed_topstories&%3Fcmpid=eonline-twitter&dlvrit=48939" target="_blank">E!

"And I feel kind of like the whole 'Romeo and Juliet' story and how the dad didn't want [me] to be with the daughter, I just thought that was the perfect [match for the lyrics] 'I'll be your silver, I'll be your gold.' I'll do anything for you to be my girl."</P><P>Given that the video fully display Bieber's burgeoning acting abilities, he admits it's something he's hoping he can try out more and more in his career.
