Controversial Bieber Photoshoot

The polaroid shoot with photographer Steven Klein sees Bieber take off his shirt, don a clown mask, grab his crotch and even lick a knife.

Grilled by Martha Stewart about his relationship status and favourite foods, the content of the interview doesn't seem to match the rather racy photoshoot.

Most of the reaction on social media has been quite positive as fans delight in the 'grown up' images of Bieber.
