The singer, who recently posed in his underwear for a [widely-mocked](http://time.com/3672813/snl-kevin-hart-sia/ "undefined") ad for [Calvin Klein](http://stylenews.peoplestylewatch.com/2015/01/06/justin-bieber-calvin-klein-underwear-ads-teaser/ "undefined"), said he was nervous about what people think of him during a recent taping of an episode of _The Ellen DeGeneres Show_. “I didn’t want to come off arrogant or conceited, basically how I’ve been acting the past year, year and a half,” he said. “I’m not who I was pretending to be.” Examples of the behavior he is talking about: making disrespectful comments at a Tokyo shrine and the Anne Frank museum, fighting with paparazzi and getting arrested for a DUI while driving a yellow Lamborghini.
