Justin Bieber Kicks Ball Around Inside Holy Buildings Of The Vatican City; ‘Beauty And The Beat’ Singer Paid 20,000 Euros For Private After-Hours Tour [PHOTOS]
Justin Bieber was very publicly embarrassed a couple of years ago when he referred to the Sistine Chapel as the "16th chapel" when he appeared on "The Late Show with David Letterman." Perhaps he was not well-informed about the subject beforehand.
The "Beauty and the Beat" singer was recently spotted living it up with his father, Jeremy, at the Vatican City. Apart from the picturesque sights, the fact that he was the point of public ridicule two years ago because of his "16th chapel" mistake could also be another reason why he decided to pay the holy city a visit. In fact, the Sistine Chapel was one of the first places that he went to on Wednesday.
While he was having a private tour of the city, he was being boxed in by his burly bodyguards. Fans spotted him and kept going after him with their cameras and phones clicking away, but his posse of men kept guard around the young pop star.
Also, Justin Bieber reportedly paid 20,000 Euros just so he could have a private after-hours tour of the Vatican City. This would include a private tour of the Pope's official residence and the Vatican Museums.
Although the tour may have imbued in him an understanding of Letterman's reference to the city's amazing art work and architecture, even comparing them to the young star's growing tattoo collection, it would seem that he still did not fully get the memo.
The 20-year-old Bieber, who was oftentimes referred to as a social irritant, lived up to his nickname once again. Not only was he dressed down in a relatively casual attire that showed off his tattoos, but he reportedly got on the wrong side of the employees when he started to kick a ball around in the corridors of the sacred buildings.
This is was a clear show of disrespect, especially for those who are very devout and strict on keeping the Vatican City holy and sacred. Perhaps this is proof that all the money in the world cannot buy class or good manners.
