Justin Bieber is an active Instagram user, and his latest selfie took fans by surprise when he posed as iconic actor James Dean.

Justin Bieber just can't stay out of the spotlight. The 20-year-old singer posted a snapshot to his Instagram account last night, this time posing as one of the most famous cultural icons of all time: James Dean. Bieber squints his eyes and raises his brows in the black and white shot, unlit cigarette dangling from his lips. "This is James Dean inspired. Don't ask me if I smoke ciggys cuz I don't ♛," captioned Bieber. The photo has gathered over a million likes and plenty of comments from his legions of supportive fans.

Perhaps realizing that his underage fans would have a hard time seeing the comparison, Bieber quickly posted a picture of the actual rebel without a cause, this time without a caption.

Justin Bieber has recently made headlines for his sexy dance video which was also posted to his Instagram account, as well as that awkward deposition video released earlier this month.

Do you think there is a likeliness between the two? Tell us in the comments below.
