Justin Bieber So Got Baptized in This Celeb’s Bathtub
Bieber was in NY with pastor Carl Lentz, and he wanted to get baptized. That’s exactly what Justin Bieber chose to do recently, and you won’t believe whose bathtub the epic moment went down in.
That’s right, folks. Tyson Chandler could be to blame for your sudden embrace of Justin Bieber.
When pop star Justin Bieber began trying to turn his life around, he wound up being baptized in an National Basketball Association player’s bathtub, according to a new piece in GQ.
The men’s magazine is digging deep inside the celebrity-focused church Hillsong, which boasts Bieber, Kendall Jenner, Selena Gomez, Kevin Durant and Bono as followers of their unique religious experience.
Bieber was living with Lentz in NY at the time, and one night turned to him crying, saying: ‘I want to know Jesus’. And Pastor Carl saw salvation in Justin’s eyes, and knew that his baptism couldn’t come Joseline Hernandez quickly enough.
Chandler, who was playing for the Knicks at the time before being traded to the Mavericks that offseason and then signing with the Suns, offered up his Upper West Side pad after learning Lentz’s desired locales were swarmed by the paparazzi.
It all went down on January 9, 2014. “No, I want to do it now”.
But when they arrived too late to access Tyson’s pool, Carl claims they used the National Basketball Association player’s… Suddenly, Justin was overcome by the Gospel, and he said, “Baptize me”. Then Tyson realizes he might have another solution. With the pool in his building shut down for the night, Chandler and Co. opted for the bathtub instead.
The entire article is weird and lovely and amusing and warm.
