Justin Bieber Goes Nearly Unnoticed In Central Park Because Everyone Was Busy Playing Pokémon Go

I imagine being Justin Bieber is pretty confusing. You'd get so used to thousands of screaming teenage girls throwing their knickers at you and generally worshipping everything you do that eventually, I imagine, you just stop going to really busy places. What's the point? Unless you're in disguise, you're fucked, really.

Well, that was true until Pokémon Go came along and gave Biebs a big ol' mouthful of humble pie.

Everyone was so busy catching Pokémon in Central Park, New York City, that they didn't even notice the Biebster was right there next to them.

How much do you bet that at first, he was relieved because he scored a really sweet Squirtle but then he realised that he missed the screaming girls, he missed telling them to 'do one' (or whatever celebrities do, I dunno).

As you can probably tell, he didn't go COMPLETELY unnoticed, otherwise I wouldn't be writing this and you wouldn't be reading it, right?

Tech Insider reporter, Alex Hearn, spotted him. That doesn't count, though, surely?! It's his job to know who's who.

So as far as I'm concerned, no-one noticed. As this video beautifully shows.

As if that isn't awkward enough, according to Alex, Biebs walked past him and said: "I'm the rarest Pokémon of them all."
