Justin Bieber films video message for dads

Justin Bieber has filmed a video message aimed at the fathers of his young fans, insisting he is a good influence on their daughters.

The Baby pop star has made a light-hearted promotional film for his female fragrance Someday and speaks directly to dads, urging them not to disapprove if their girl has a crush on him.

In the clip, Bieber insists it's fine for fathers to let their daughters obsess over a famous pop star as it will stop them having a crush on the boy next door.

He says, "Hey Dad, it's Justin, your daughter wanted us to chat. I feel like we got off on the wrong foot, I mean I get it, I'm a huge mega star, I got a full head of hair...

"But it could be a lot worse. Think about it. Guys her age... Well, remember when you were her age? Yeah, exactly... I'm a great distraction. She won't even think about him and someday you might even thank me. So next time you hear her scream my name, relax. It's better than hearing her scream 'Joey' who lives next door. Am I right?"
