Justin Bieber posted a picture of himself on his Instagram page that shows more of a classic bad boy image, a departure from his usual, more current looks.

Justin Bieber Sex Tape?

The photo that was posted on Saturday shows the Boyfriend singer in black and white as he represents legendary actor James Dean.

Bieber is looking sideways with a cigarette in his mouth as he wears a white T-shirt and a watch. His left arm is seen with tattoos as the dark background blends in.

Justin Bieber Compares Himself To Michael Jackson?

Bieber captioned the photo, "This is James Dean inspired. Don't ask me if I smoke ciggys cuz I don't."

The singer then posted another photo of the Rebel Without a Cause star in a similar position for comparison. Dean is sitting outside in a black and white shot with a cigarette in his mouth and a watch on his wrist as well. He is also wearing a white T-shirt.

The only major differences in the photos appear to be the locations where the two photos were taken, as well as props each celebrity used. While Dean's original phto appears to have been taken in an outdoor setting, while he holds a pair of glasses, Bieber's photo appears to be an indoor one, and his hands are empty.

Despite getting in a massive amount of trouble lately, the Beauty and a Beat singer still continues to post more traditional selfies which showcase his tattoos and seem to preserve his bad boy image.

One of his most recent photos shows the pop star in a white shirt with his hand behind his head as he stares into the camera. He posted another photo on Thursday with a hood over his head.
