Justin Bieber’s Shirtless Shooting Spree in Wilderness
Justin Bieber went shirtless and fired rifles, shotguns and sidearms amid the wilderness, according to photos he shared on his social media accounts.
Sage Matthews here, bleary-eyed at 2 AM, trying to process yet another reality circus on my screen. Of course this happened.
In a series of snaps posted earlier this week, the 31-year-old pop star is seen gripping multiple firearms as he stands bare-chested against a sunlit, desolate backdrop. The images capture Bieber lining up shots, his tattoos on full display, with rows of ammunition cans stacked at his feet. If you needed proof that celebrity downtime now comes with high-caliber accessories, here it is.
TMZ first broke the story on August 3, highlighting Bieber’s decision to combine summer leisure with a weapons demonstration. The singer, known for chart-topping hits and headline-grabbing personal life, traded his usual stage wardrobe for a rogue action-hero look. Between toggling rifles and sidearms, he even brought out a classic pump-action shotgun for what appears to be a skeet shooting practice. The man clearly packed more firepower than friends to a pool party.
The photos join a string of shirtless snapshots Bieber has shared this season. Beach outings, mountain hikes, poolside yoga—none of it felt complete without peeling off layers and flexing for the camera. He has averaged nearly one bare-torso upload every week since June. Now he has added gunpowder to the mix.
It is tempting to chalk this up to an overenthusiastic quest for authenticity, but let us not pretend that arming up in the middle of nowhere is exactly inconspicuous. Bieber’s social media audience, numbering in the tens of millions, now sees him as both a fitness muse and a firearms influencer. Only in 2025 does celebrity health marketing include high-velocity projectiles.
Critics on Twitter have already launched their own salvos, with some questioning the safety and optics of a global pop figure brandishing weapons online. Supporters, meanwhile, praise the singer’s adventurous spirit and his commitment to mastering new skills. Neither camp seems ready to call for a ceasefire anytime soon.
What this says about our collective obsession with guns and fame is left for cultural analysts to untangle. It does confirm, however, that social media has no off switch for spectacle. Even an isolated retreat can turn into an ammunition commercial when a megastar gets bored.
At least Bieber’s firearms stay holstered offstage, but somewhere between concert tours and studio sessions, he decided to one-up himself. This will not age like a fine wine.
Anyway, should we even act surprised when the next stunt involves jetpacks or flamethrowers? Stay tuned if you dare.
