AceShowbiz - It appears that Justin Bieber knows how to eat burrito. The Canadian super star made headlines recently after a picture of him eating burrito sideways emerged online and went viral. People quickly made fun of him on Twitter, wondering that the "Sorry" hitmaker has been living his 24 years of life without knowing how to properly eat burrito.
However, it appears that the world was wrong because of course he does know. It turns out that the pic of Justin munching a burrito on a park bench on Thursday, October 25, is part of a prank by the guys the Yes Theory YouTube channel. They uploaded a revealed video on Sunday.
In a video titled "We Fooled the Internet w/ Fake Justin Bieber Burrito Photo", they revealed that they staged the entire thing. "Yup, that photo of Justin Bieber eating a burrito sideways are completely staged and we are the one who did it," they said. They brought in a Justin look-alike, a Canadian guy named Brad Sousaa, and dressed him up to look like the "Despacito" singer, and the rest is history.
Scooter Braun, Justin's manager, confronted the group on an Instagram video that featured him video-calling them. "First of all, I know what he looks like," Scooter began saying. "Number 2, I found it very amusing because I had so many people hitting me [up] saying, 'why is your boy eating a burrito like this?' "
Scooter then continued, "But the best one, the best part was when I figured it out that it was you guys. I decided to put it up on my Instagram for one minute with a caption pretending that I thought it was him. Within thirty seconds of posting it and taking it down, your manager hits [me] up."
"I just want you to know that you can't prank a prankster. But I'm gonna play along, I'm not gonna say anything because it's really funny," Scooter added while laughing.
"Well done to the @yestheory guys... but you can never prank a prankster... as for everyone else... 🤦ðŸ»â€â™‚ï¸ #itisnotJustin," Scooter captioned the video.
Before it was revealed that the burrito-eater was not Justin, the husband of Hailey Baldwin was the talk of the town because some were offended by the fact that he didn't know how to eat burritos. "How long can @justinbieber remain silent about whether he is or is not the person who defiled that poor burrito," tweeted a fan.
Chrissy Teigen was weighed in on the viral pic, writing, "the only way they should be eaten tbh, ends are just carb factories." Chipotle, chain of fast casual restaurants that is specializing in tacos and Mission-style burritos, joined in the fun. Instead of making fun of Justin, the restaurant admitted that they "don't have a problem with this."
