Canadian sensation Justin Bieber has revealed that one of the most rewarding things about his success is being able to give back to his family and take care of his mother. 

During a new interview for France’s Clique TV, the heartthrob explained that when he was a child his mom struggled a lot financially so when he got his first paycheck he made sure he helped her out:

"It felt like … I used to have to, my mom would always make me order water at restaurants. I could never get a soft drink. Those are like little things that when you’re a kid, they matter. Like, you get disappointed, like, ‘I just wanted a soda, Mom.’ Or like, I would go and share meals with my mom and stuff. It’s not like we were like, really, really, really dirt poor, but there were struggles, and when I got my first check I just felt the security to be able to take care of my mom because she always took care of me. Just being able to take care of your mom feels really good.”

Bieber went onto add that he hopes people will start see the real Justin now that he has turned things around: “I just want people to see me as a normal dude. Like, I just come in here with my hoodie because I’m comfortable, and just chillin’, and not trying too hard. I just want to have a good time and show people that I’m normal.”
