Justin Bieber 'apologises' for cameraman tirade with Aussie accent, Summer Heights High joke

Is it too late to say sorry now?

After yelling 'f--- you' at a Channel 7 cameraman trying to film the pop star on the Sunshine Coast's Makepeace Island, Justin Bieber took to Instagram to share a video mock 'apologising' for his actions.

"SORRY BEN," Justin, 23, captioned the clip. "If you don't get the context it's from an Australian TV show called 'Summer Heights High'."

Indeed, the 'Sorry, Ben' bit was one exchanged between Summer Heights High student Jonah Takalua (Chris Lilley) and red-headed student Ben on the popular Aussie show.

"I said, 'Puck you, miss,'" Justin quotes in the video while filming himself. "There's a difference between bullying and joking around. I was joking around. Sorry, Ben! Motherf---er! Sorry, ranga. I was doing it for fun."

The clip continues with an overlay that reads, "You made the news lady very angry."

"Are you on your period, miss?" Justin continues, still quoting the show.

An overlay then appears that says, "Your [sic] laughing but they didn't think it was funny."

"I could tell them a knock-knock joke and they wouldn't even think it was funny," quotes Justin. "I was punking him. Watch MTV."

Sydneysider Chris Lilley was seemingly flattered by the Biebs' impersonation and shared the post on his own Instagram without comment.

Justin is currently in Australia for his Purpose tour, where he's been making plenty of headlines, from his aggressive response to a Melbourne selfie seeker to his partying on a yacht a bevvy of local girls.
