Zoey Deutch played Justin Bieber's wife in his "Anyone" music video, dropping at midnight on New Year's Day and simultaneously transporting viewers backward to a 1950s boxing love story.

The unexpected role also took Deutch back to her childhood.

"I have no idea how I was asked to be in Bieber's video," the 26-year-old actress explained on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon . "Like, I got an email on a Thursday, and then I said yeah, and then we were filming it that weekend. You know, when I was 11, I married my family I'd marry Justin Bieber, so when I was asked if I wanted to play his wife in a video, I couldn't say no."

Deutch had made a name for herself before "Anyone," though, with roles dating back to a recurring role in Disney's The Suite Life on Deck a decade ago. More recently, the Los Angeles native starred in Netflix romantic comedy Set It Up (2018) as well as Netflix series The Politician (2019-20). She has upcoming roles in drama films The Outfit and Hound.
