Robin Verrecas's twin-like similarity to Justin Bieber turned the teen into a pseudo celebrity, but when TMZ leaked photos of the singer smoking weed, many Beliebers decided to pin it on the 18-year-old graphic designer.










Verrecas, who in the past has exploited his uncanny look-a-likeness to Bieber by posing like him in several photos, tried to defend himself on Twitter by announcing that he would never to do anything to hurt the singer because he is a fan, and urged the pop star to come clean and release him from the undeserved hate he's getting.




As of now, Bieber hasn't made any comments on the photos, or Verrecas' innocence.
