Justin Bieber recently paid tribute to filmmaker John Waters, after meeting the writer/actor. John is mostly known for his pencil-thin moustache and Justin was seen sporting one just like it, just last week.

Justin was said to be goofing off at a restaurant and was playing with a helicopter at the table. He greeted fans and the paparazzi with the fake moustache.

Who knew that he was actually paying tribute to John Waters with his goofiness? The two were guests together on “The Graham Norton Show” where Justin was promoting his new album and John was promoting his new book, “Role Models”.

The Baltimore Sun reports:

Not long after the shrieking died down from Bieber’s introduction, the 16-year-old asked if he could say something. He leaned across to Waters’ end of the couch and pronounced as only a teen could: “Your ‘stache is the jam.”

“Thank you. Thank you very much,” Waters replied, a big smile on his face. He then pulled an eyebrow pencil from his pocket and handed it down to Bieber, saying, “If you want to try it…. Can I draw it on you?”

Bieber took the pen but declined Waters’ offer of artistry. “I’m good,” he demurred. “Maybe later.”

Sure enough, as soon as the show ended, while backstage Bieber drew on a version of the mustache, which Waters has said was inspired by Little Richard. Waters said Monday morning that Bieber’s tribute of sorts flattered him and cracked him up.

“It really made me laugh when I saw it,” Waters said. “It was the last thing I expected.”

Too funny. Justin has a sense of humor! Don’t act surprised!
