CLEARLY still sensitive about the comments from his Calvin Klein ads, Justin Bieber has recorded a video talking about his first appearance on the cover of US Men’s Health magazine.

Bieber’s bod was photographed in his Calvin’s for the underwear brand’s latest campaign.

However he received a backlash with many saying that his muscles were photoshopped to appear bigger than they actually are.

Now the 21-year-old has moved to put those rumours to rest by appearing as a cover boy for Men’s Health.

“It’s not Photoshopped! For all you fools out there saying it’s Photoshopped!” he said in a behind the scene’s video. “I love the fact that I got in shape the past two years and I’m finally getting recognition for it.”

Bieber, who is trying to reinvent his image, said he is learning from his mistakes.

“[It’s] almost like I grew up for the public but I didn’t necessarily grow up,” he said. “This has really been a big year for me, as far as figuring stuff out. This is almost like a full 180 from how I was. Yesterday — a year from yesterday — I was in jail.”

In an effort to show that he can laugh at himself, Bieber has done a spoof of his Calvin Klein ad and is set to get roasted on March 30 by comedian Kevin Hart.
