Pop super star Justin Bieber has spoken about how he longed for a normal life when he was younger.

Now, the 16-year-old is one of the most famous teens on the planet, so life certainly isn’t normal.

“Now that I’m here, I sometimes wish I could just go back home and chill,” he said. “But if I was at home and I wasn’t doing this, I’d wish that I was in this position.”

“When I was little I longed for a ‘normal’ life with a ‘normal’ family,” he said.

“Mom worked her butt off at whatever job she could get to keep a roof over our heads. There were no luxuries but it never occurred to me that we were poor. We had each other, which was everything.”
