Justin Bieber had "amazing energy" on the set of his Calvin Klein campaign.
The fashion brand has hit back at rumours the 20-year-old singer acted like a diva while shooting its new underwear ads with Dutch model Lara Stone and insist he "showed up early every day."
Melisa Goldie, Chief Marketing Officer at Calvin Klein, said: "We shot the print and video campaigns over several days at Silvercup Studios [in New York City] with photographers Mert & Marcus and Johan Renck, who directed the campaign video. Justin showed up early every day with amazing energy - he completely trusted us and gave it his all."
The 'Boyfriend' hitmaker bonded with everyone, including top model Lara, 31, on the set and they even shared posing tips.
Melisa told UsMagazine.com: "Lara definitely gave Justin some modelling pointers, especially when we shot the print images, but when we started to shoot the commercial, Justin had some pointers for Lara. He came alive when it was time to perform, especially when the drum kit came out -- it was really impressive.
"We are incredibly proud of the final images and how they portray Justin and Lara. This campaign will definitely make history."

Lena Dunham thinks Taylor Swift is "the most iconic performer of her generation."
The 'Girls' creator and star would let the 'Blank Space' hitmaker kill her character, Hannah Horvath, if she agreed to make an appearance on the show, but she admits the 25-year-old singer is too busy "taking over the world."
Asked if the blonde beauty will ever make a cameo, the 28-year-old star told Entertainment Weekly magazine: "That would be the greatest thing of all time. She's a little busy taking over the world right now. I once read this thing online that was like, 'Lena doesn't think Taylor is a good enough actress.' Taylor is an incredible actor, she's the most iconic performer of her generation, and she's also one of my best friends. If she wanted to come murder my character on the show, I'd let her. She can do anything she wants."
The 'Shake It Off' hitmaker previously called Lena and Lorde the "most important" people in her life.
She said: "They are the most important things to me right now. Ella and Lena both represent the type of woman I want to be. Ella and I might be in the same job but we don't see each other as anything but two female friends.
"The type of girls I hang out with are strong and know their own mind. But we don't see each other that often as we work so hard. But when we get together it's worth the wait."

Kim Kardashian West admits she is struggling to get pregnant again.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star, who has 18-month-old daughter North with rapper husband Kanye West, is desperate to have another baby, but says "it's been more challenging" than she thought it would be.
The brunette beauty said: "It's been more challenging to get pregnant the second time around."
Kim's battle to conceive will be documented on the upcoming series of her family's reality TV show.
She also told MailOnline at the E! International Press Junket in Los Angeles on Friday (09.01.15): "When you're not planning it, it happens. It's just how God works.
"And when you want it so bad, it's not happening..."
The star previously called North her "miracle baby" as doctors once told her she might never be able to get pregnant.
She told the January issue of Elle magazine: "A few years ago I was told I could never get pregnant. Three different doctors told me the same thing, which is why I wanted to have my eggs frozen. I was just about to do that when I found out I was pregnant with North."
The 34-year-old star was forced to deny rumours she was pregnant again last month, shortly after her older sister Kourtney Kardashian gave birth to her third child, Reign, with boyfriend Scott Disick.
The couple also have daughter Penelope, two, and son Mason, five.

Joaquin Phoenix has a huge crush on Amy Poehler.
The 40-year-old actor, who jokingly claimed he was engaged to his yoga instructor girlfriend recently, is a "little nervous" about meeting the 'Parks and Recreation' star at the Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday (11.01.15) because he finds her "very attractive."
The 'Inherent' star told 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!': "You know who I do find attractive is that Amy Poehler. Yeah, I think she's very attractive."
Despite being a fan of the 43-year-old actress, who is set to host the awards ceremony for the third time with Tina Fey, Joaquin claims he wouldn't know what to say to her.
When the chat show host said: "You're answering questions I didn't even ask," Joaquin replied: "Well, I guess just because she's hosting the Globes and she's having a party and I'm going to go, and I'm a little nervous about seeing her. I don't really know what to say."
The actor also questioned whether the comedienne is in a "solid relationship" with her boyfriend Nick Kroll, who she has been dating for almost two years, and Jimmy responded: "If you want to break it up though, I'm sure Nick would be happy to step aside."
The 'Her' star recently claimed he had proposed to his girlfriend and realised she was "the one" after she she made him perform a complicated yoga position, he but later confessed he'd fabricated the story because his life is "so boring."

Tina Fey believes Tracy Morgan will eventually recover following his car crash in June.
The 44-year-old actress says her former '30 Rock' co-star is "doing good" after he suffered a broken femur, broken nose and broken ribs when a Walmart truck crashed into the vehicle he was travelling in last summer in New Jersey.
Asked if she had been in contact with the 46-year-old comedian, she said: "I saw Tracy. I went and visited him before the holidays. He's doing good. He's got a long road ahead of him, but he's going to get there."
Tina claims Tracy is determined to get better and is already planning to guest-star on her new Netflix comedy series, 'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt'.
She told E! News: "Tracy has already told me that when he is well, he wants to be on the show. And I said, 'You got it.' "
The actor spent 10 days in a critical condition in hospital and is still being treated for the injuries he sustained in the six-vehicle accident, which also killed his comedy writer friend James McNair.
Tracy's lawyer filed a lawsuit in July, claiming Walmart is responsible because the truck driver was allegedly fatigued when the accident occurred and that "Walmart knew or should have known" that he had been "awake for more than 24 consecutive hours."

Ginnifer Goodwin wants to have as many children as possible.
The 'Once Upon a Time' actress, who has seven-month-old son Oliver with husband Josh Dallas, admits they're already eager to expand their family again.
She said: "We'll have as many [children] as the universe will grant us.
"[Motherhood is] so much better [than I thought]. It makes me feel like acting is not at all creative, but being a parent, anybody who's a parent I want to like give an Oscar to."
Ginnifer still feels "lucky" to be married to Josh, 33, who also plays her love interest Prince Charming on the series.
The 36-year-old beauty told E! News: "Prince Charming is Prince Charming in real life as well. You know what, I am a lucky girl and we have a gorgeous, ridiculous kid.
"He makes me laugh so much, and even if we squabble he makes me laugh, so I can't even stay angry - which is kind of its own level of frustrating. I want to be mad!"
The couple tied the knot last April after approximately two years of dating, just weeks before welcoming Oliver into the world in May.
