Celebrities, they're just like us.

According to a Twitter video, Justin Bieber was amongst the droves of Pokémon Go fans in New York City in the early morning hours of July 18.

One video, albeit blurry, does appear to show a young man who looks like Bieber, racing across Central Park to catch his favorite Pokémon.

The Poké-hunters were apparently on their way to catch a Vaporeon, an evolved and rare creature in the game.

Other users managed to grab clearer pictures with Bieber, who is wearing the same shirt as in the first video.

Bieber is clearly not sorry for his Pokémon passion.
