Gordon Pinsent spoofs Justin Bieber – video

By Alexandra Heilbron on February 3, 2011 | 19 Comments


At the Toronto press conference for his movie, Justin Bieber: Never Say Never, Justin Bieber was asked what he thought of Canadian icon Gordon Pinsent‘s incredibly funny sketch on This Hour Has 22 Minutes, in which the veteran actor reads aloud from Justin’s autobiography Justin Bieber: First Step 2 Forever. 

Unfortunately, Bieber, who didn’t seem to know who award-winning actor Gordon Pinsent is, said he hadn’t seen it. Click on the video to watch it and tell us what you think.

    Who hasn’t heard of Gordon Pinsent? He was on The Red Green Show and Due South among other movies and tv shows. Hilarious video

    Bieber is a baby..most people probably don’t know about Gordon Pinsent..actually most people in our own native country don’t seem to know most actors we produce…even some that are wildly famous. I don’t blame the kid for not knowing Gordon, but I do blame him for being born.

    It’s a funny spoof but goes to show just what an ego-maniac Justin Bieber is. To think anybody would want to sit and read about his every burp demonstrates how self focused this little twerp is. He needs to think about something besides himself. Then, in maybe about twenty years he might actually have something interesting to write about. Now he’s trying to become an actor. Give me a break. He’s just a egotist trying to get somewhere with a very outdated Beatle hairdo. No singing talent either. Little more than an exhibitionist.

    Gordon is hilarious! But who is this Justin Bieber?

  13. Terry • February 4, 2011 @ 9:42 AM

    LOL Jennie 🙂 You mean…….who is this Justin Dweeber.

    I love Gordon Pinsent even more now. I knew he was a great actor, but who knew he was that funny? Even when he says 1994, I’m howling!

    Right On! Very funny spoof!! Pinsent is a joy to watch at anything he does! I’ve seen him in live theatre, and he was just marvellous! I’ve been an admirer since my 20’s–that was 30 yrs. ago!! He, along with Christopher Plummer, have been two of my all-time favourite actors from Canada. I am proud that they ARE CANADIAN!! Very talented and charming men. Not surprising that Bieber-doll didn’t know of Pinsent. He was too much before his time! Anyways, a LOL skit! Hope Pinsent has many more yrs. to come as an Actor, but for Bieber; I hope his career ends before too long (I don’t think he’s that great!) Tough Luck, kid!!

    Absolutely wonderful! Thanks for giving me a great laugh!

  17. randy meighen • February 7, 2011 @ 1:06 AM

    OMG! Laughing so hard I was crying! And Ive seen this video at least 10 times- – Gordon u r one funny dude!!

    Justin “Baby Hormone Pants” would not know of Gorden Pinset, no
    that man worked his way up through the ranks.
    Got discovered the old fashioned way by having talent and studying
    his craft. Little Justin was discovered You Tube. Just ask him he will
    Tell you of course Justin is Famous! Whew 

  19. Lou • October 27, 2012 @ 2:19 PM

    Kathleen is correct. Between Pinsent and Plummer we have produced two of the finest stage (and screen!) actors of the past half century. I would love to see either live but have not managed to do so yet. And Pinsent can poke fun at himself, his country and others—and STILL come across as classy! Not many can do that!
    PLEASE tell me Bieber was kidding when he said he didn’t know who Mr. Pinsent is…?
