And full of dramatic pauses and long looks, Freeman delivers what he promised with a reading of Bieber’s chart-topper “Love Yourself” proving, as Vanity Fair says, that Freeman can make “anything sound classy.” The mag cut up the video with black and white shots of Freeman looking into the distance with sad, regretful eyes to add to the gravity of the words.
