Diane Keaton is reminiscing on the time she starred in Justin Bieber’s 2021 “Ghost” music video. In a new interview with Metro UK, the Something’s Gotta Give actress opened up about playing Bieber’s grandmother. Keaton, 77, admitted that she wasn’t even a fan of his at the time.

She told the publication that she couldn’t believe the pop star casted her. “This was like one of those things that happens [and] you’re going, ‘I’m what?'” Keaton said. “And of course, it was so much fun, it couldn’t have been more fun. I can’t believe it. I still can’t believe it.”

In the music video, Bieber, 29, celebrates his grandfather’s birthday with grandmother Keaton shortly before he dies. Bieber and Keaton are then seen mourning him over the next two years while spending quality time together. By the end of the music video, he sets her up on a date with a new man.

Though she admitted she knew his music a “little” and “liked” some of it, she made it clear she wasn’t a fan and doesn’t “have music pouring in my ears all the time.” Still shocked by why she was chosen, Keaton told the publication, “I don’t know why me. I still don’t understand. I don’t know how, but I loved it.”

Justin Bieber’s 11 Best Songs Of All Time Ranked

• 11. Beauty And A Beat ft. Nicki Minaj

  Justin Bieber landed this ultimate collaboration with Nicki Minaj back in 2012. Taking place at a water park, Justin wrote, directed and shot the wild party music video.

• 10. Love Yourself

  A more serious of Bieber’s song, we love how the choreography for the music video for “Love Yourself” tells the story like a short film.

• 9. Intentions ft. Quavo

  The song’s lyrics are full of compliments towards both Bieber’s and Quavo’s love-interests: Hailey Bieber and Saweetie. The artists have worked together three times, with the previous two taking part in collaborations with DJ Khaled.

• 8. Baby ft. Ludacris

  We still sing, “baby, baby, baby oh” to this day! That’s how you know J-Biebs has a timeless hit. Who noticed that fellow Canadian Drake was in the music video?!

• 7. Somebody To Love Remix ft. Usher

  Add Usher to a Justin Bieber song and you have a guaranteed song that will make you dance.

• 6. Peaches ft. Daniel Caesar, Giveon

  “Peaches”is an ode to different regions of the US, with Georgia and its famous peaches being the central focus.

• 5. STAY with The Kid LAROI

  Though the two artists are ten years apart, there sure are many similarities in their singing styles which is why we love this collaboration so much.

• 4, As Long As You Love Me ft. Big Sean

  The collaboration with Big Sean in 2012 surprised many people for “As Long As You Love Me,” but Bieber’s new sound showed he had become more mature.

• 3. No Sense ft. Travi$ Scott

  One of his more underrated songs, this collaboration with Travis Scott is a slower, sexier tune than we’re used to.

• 2. Where Are Ü Now with Skrillex & Diplo

  This song has been remixed so many times by different EDM artists, but what is more impressive is the longevity of airplay “Where Are Ü Now” still gets in 2022.

• 1. Sorry

  Arguably his best song to date, “Sorry” finds the singer saying sorry to his lost love and asking for a second chance. The song’s dance beat was produced by Skrillex, who Bieber collabed with on the hit single “Where Are Ü Now.”
