They say that falling in love is easy, but keeping that love going is a battle. No one understands that better than Justin Bieber… at least in the video for his latest single, “As Long As You Love Me”.

Directed by Anthony Mandler, the video/short film (the second from his album, Believe) shows Justin attempting to save the relationship he’s in from the ever angry grasp of the girl’s father, played by Michael Madsen (best known for his role in the film Reservoir Dogs). It definitely plays on Justin’s burgeoning maturity.
