The Bieber might have a little bit of a popularity issue with UKs hottest boy band to date, One Direction. This could probably be the reason why Justin Bieber has picked off the British accent. The 18-year old Canadian heartthrob is hoping his English-accent will get him far with the ladies.

Justin Bieber really doesn't have to bother winning over fans from One Direction or any other boy band for that matter. The sleek dancing moves and swagger-iffic singing plus the mean guitar-strumming skills are surely enough to keep the fans squealing and screaming for more. Still, that has not stopped the 18-year old singer from trying out his luck from acting out an accent totally new to him - British.

In an interview with London's Capital FM radio, Justin Bieber tried his damn-est at capturing the essence of the English man. All throughout the exchange, Justin adapted a cheeky accent that has earned him a laughable nods same with the likes of Madonna who had caught on with the accent during her extended stay in the UK. Apart from doing an impression of the Robert Pattinson accent, Justin Bieber also opened up on his own music protégé, Carly Rae Jepsen.

"I signed her ... she's done very well," said Justin, then suddenly in a fit of laughter, adds, "I'm trying to figure out my accent".

Apart from the accent Bieber has taken up from Madonna during the London interview, Justin is also getting comfortable taking his clothes off for concerts. The 18-year old heartthrob recently flashed his abs at screaming female fans at one of his "Believe" tours. In other naked news, Justin goes shirtless for his photo shoot with the magazine, GQ.

The Canadian crooner is proving he's getting all grown up from punching paparazzi to showing off his full figure. Still, the British accent has got his fans whooping for joy and caught up in a total jaw-dropping moment. So dear Directioners, is Justin Bieber's' British accent enough to make a wish he'd be the "Boyfriend" or should Justin be sticking to the all-Canadian accent he's born with?
