Evan Rachel Wood has revealed that she is a big fan of Justin Bieber.

Wood, who previously dated Marilyn Manson for four years, said in an interview with New York Magazine that her fondness for the 17-year-old popstar often surprises people.

The 23-year-old explained: "I'm really enjoying being single and concentrating on work right now. That and watching the Food Network and listening to Justin Bieber.

"People honestly think I'm kidding about Bieber. My mum is so confused. She's like, 'Evan, really?' I'm like, 'Go see Never Say Never. You'll understand.'"

Speaking of her relationship with Manson, Wood said: "I didn't really get a normal childhood. Manson gave me what I felt I'd missed out on, where you get to experiment and cut loose and change and grow. I lived 50 lifetimes in those four years."

Recently, Wood admitted feeling nervous about the prospect of shooting nude scenes for her part in the HBO miniseries Mildred Pierce with Kate Winslet.
