What do Orlando Bloom and a bear have in common?

Well, they apparently both think that Justin Bieber is un-bearable (pun most definitely intended).

The 20-year-old popstar's 2010 hit Baby literally saved a Russian fisherman's life from a bear.

Igor Vorozhbitsyn was heading to his favourite fishing spot in Russia's Yakutia Republic when a bear pounced on him and started clawing at him.

The fisherman, who suffered cuts and severe bruises to his face and chest, was certain he was going to die... until Bieber came to the rescue.

Vorozhbitsyn's mobile phone rang as he was being clawed, and his ringtone was none other than Justin Bieber's Baby.

And it scared the bear away.

The relieved Vorozhbitsyn said: "I couldn't believe my luck when the phone went off and he fled."

But the more pertinent question had yet to be answered: "Why in the world does a 42-year-old Russian fisherman have Baby as his ringtone?"

Thankfully, there is a valid answer.

"I know that sort of ringtone isn't to everyone's taste but my granddaughter loaded it onto my phone for a joke," said Vorozhbitsyn.

Hmmmm, we'll give you the benefit of the doubt, Mr Vorozhbitsyn.

In case you need a refresher, here's the video.

 

 

And while this bear is not a fan of Bieber, it appears that cows are definitely Lorde fans.
