Canadian sensation Justin Bieber has revealed that one of the reasons he strives to keep his personal life out of the media is because he once found someone hiding in a bin outside of his family home.

The superstar explained to Vibe magazine that he doesn't like talking about the area in which he lives or the vehicles he owns because it's an opportunity for a real invasion of privacy that can be threatening:

"I don't like giving too much personal information about where I live and the cars I drive... There are a lot of people in this world that aren't good people, and all they need to do is a little research and then they can (find me)..."

He then added that, like One Direction's Zayn Malik, he's been shocked to discover a person hiding in a trash can outside of his house: "(I've had) people hiding in garbage cans overnight to catch (pictures) of me. Crazy things happen."
