Justin Bieber mocks reporter with funny Summer Heights High impression

Justin Bieber could turn his hand to impressions if he decides to wave godbye to pop stardom.

Bieber, 23, mocked a reporter by impersonating Jonah from Australian series Summer Heights High.

The Canadian artist was interrupted by a Channel 7 reporter who captured footage of Bieber sticking his middle finger up to the camera crew and seemingly shouting obscenities during his stay on Makepeace Island, Australia.

But the Sorry singer has defended his actions, explaining that he was having a laugh and shouting “Puck you” – a quote made famous by Chris Lilley’s character in the hit comedy series.

He explained himself with an Instagram video in which he showed off his flair for impersonating the Tongan character.

*Warning strong language*

“I said puck you, miss,” he explains. “There’s a difference between bullying him and joking around. I was joking around.

“I was doing it for fun, you just didn’t get that it was fun.

“I could tell him a knock-knock joke and he wouldn’t even think it was funny.”

Quoting another phrase he shouted: “You on your period or what miss?”

Bieber captioned the video: “SORRY BEN - If you don’t get the context it’s from an Australian TV show called ‘Summer Heights High’.”

Lilley was clearly impressed by Bieber's impersonation and tweeted a link to the singer's video.
