Justin Bieber says that the transition into adulthood has been a “tough” one.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old spoke to Newsbeat at the premiere of Ed Sheeran’s film Jumpers For Goalposts.<\/p>\n

The film shows highlights from Ed’s world tour – on the road, on stage and behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

They pair have been friends for a while and Justin revealed he will feature on his upcoming fourth album – Purpose.<\/p>\n

“I’m a big fan of his work,” he says.<\/p>\n

“I’m also a big fan of his as a person, I think he’s just easy to talk to, he’s just like a cool guy.”<\/p>\n

\"Justin<\/div>\n

The star faced controversy in 2014 when he was accused of smoking marijuana and prescription drugs.<\/p>\n

He was then arrested for being involved in what police described as an illegal street drag race in Miami.<\/p>\n

He was also linked with an attempted robbery in LA, but the Where Are You Now singer responded to the accusation on Twitter.<\/p>\n

He said at the time: “My mom raised me to be kind to others. I get judged, harassed, and I try to take the high road.<\/p>\n

“Sometimes it isn’t easy. But we keep trying.”<\/p>\n

\"Justin<\/div>\n

But Justin now says he’s not bitter about the media attention.<\/p>\n

“I think there are good people and bad people with every job, I just try to take it with a grain of salt and not focus on the hate but just focus on the love.”<\/p>\n

For the moment it seems Justin is on an even keel although he admits it’s been a long road for him.<\/p>\n

“It’s been really tough, I think that’s just the journey of growing up and being a man,” he told Newsbeat.<\/p>\n

“You’re going to go through downfalls you’re going to go through ups and downs. It’s just how you rise to the occasion and just come out through the other side.”<\/p>\n

With a new album reportedly due out next month he also revealed his pal Ed will feature.<\/p>\n

“We did a song for my album. Him and I co-wrote this song, it’s really awesome and I cant wait for people to hear it.”<\/p>\n
