Cody Simpson has defended Justin Bieber following his altercation with Orlando Bloom.
The 20-year-old singer had to dodge a punch from the ‘Lord of the Rings’ star at a party in Ibiza yesterday (30.07.14) after reportedly making a reference to the actor’s ex-wife Miranda Kerr – who he was romantically linked with during their marriage – but his pal insists his misdeeds can be put down to his youth.
Speaking on Australia’s ‘The Morning Show’, he said: "Obviously we’re all young and he gets himself into some stuff sometimes.
"He’s a person I’d go to for everything. He’s like a big brother."
And despite the ‘Believe’ singer’s controversial antics – which have also included numerous run-ins with neighbours over his wild partying – Cody insists he does a "lot of good" for people.
He said: "He has the world in his hands as he does a lot of good as well. I’ve got all good things to say."
Justin and Orlando got into a row at swanky Ibiza restaurant Cipriani after the ‘Baby’ singer reportedly told the actor, "Say hi to Miranda for me," prompting him to take a swing at the young star.
Miranda’s lawyer previously said that rumours she cheated on Orlando – with whom she has three-year-old son Flynn – with the ‘Confident’ singer after the Victoria’s Secret fashion show in 2012 were "false and defamatory."
