Red Hot Chili Peppers' Anthony Kiedis Cried Over Justin Bieber

Once-wild, now-reformed Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis has had his fair share of trials and tribulations, but the rocker has recently admitted to breaking down in tears while watching pop star Justin Bieber's concert documentary 'Never Say Never.'

Kiedis -- who may come off as rough-around-the-edges as a result of his well-known, long-time battle with drug addiction -- revealed his super-sensitive side to Q Magazine.

"I sat on an airplane recently, coming from Hawaii to Los Angeles, with Rick Rubin just across the aisle, watching the Justin Bieber movie, 'Never Say Never.' I cried twice during that film and I want the world to know that!" 48-year-old Kiedis admitted.

Kiedis continued, "They were doing this very cheesy giveaway of concert tickets to 16-year-old girls. The cheesiness didn't matter -- it was the reaction of the kids. When you saw those little girls crying deliriously, I lost it."

But the Red Hot rocker wasn't the only one brought to tears at the sight of the Bieber Fever footage. Anthony added, "I decided to tell Rick afterwards and he said, 'I was also sobbing during that point in the movie.' There you have it."
