'Justin Bieber Reminds Me Of Myself', Says Vanilla Ice

American rap legend Vanilla Ice has claimed that Canadian superstar Justin Bieber reminds him of himself, and has warned him about partying too hard as becomes one of the biggest names in showbiz.
Vanilla Ice found massive fame with his hit ‘Ice Ice Baby’ back in the early 90s, but after years of hardcore partying and drug abuse, Ice’s major fame came to an end - and he even attempted suicide. Now, he’s revealed that he’s found a reminder of his former glory days in Justin Bieber, and is interested to see how he turns out.
“I see similarities, I definitely see similarities," Vanilla Ice told Access Hollywood Live. "He's a great guy. He's doing great out there right now. Let's hope that it doesn't train wreck, you know, because I had a weekend that lasted a few years and you have to figure out your purpose in life after you're through with your artificial life of being on stage and all the glamour and everything.”
He continued: “There's a real life in there and then you have to do that while growing up... So there's going to be some growing pains and everybody is going to be watching. It's going to be entertaining!”
While it certainly will be entertaining to see how Bieber’s career pans out, you can catch him at the height of it when he tours the UK later this month. Check below to find tickets through Stereoboard.
