12 Terrible Movie Characters Redeemed By Awesome Deaths

7. Justin Bieber - Zoolander 2

There's not much point differentiating between Justin Bieber the person and Justin Bieber the character because, aside from Bieber himself, who even knows the difference?

The pop star, to his mild credit, at least played along by allowing himself to be brutally murdered on-screen in Zoolander 2's opening act, but that didn't stop everyone wincing for every second he appeared in the movie prior to that.

His line readings are, as expected, pretty awful, but mercifully he's only in the film about a minute before getting his comeuppance.

Cause Of Death: Riddled with literally hundreds of machine gun bullets by a faceless assassin. Director Ben Stiller milks the moment as any knowing filmmaker would have, focusing on the gory squibs exploding out of Bieber's torso in slow motion, before Bieber takes an obligatory final selfie.

Bieber was smart enough to cash-in on the cult of Internet hate for him, and the results were wonderfully therapeutic for anyone who's ever listened to one of his songs.
