"I don't find it funny," he said. "We're acting in a video, that's what the video is."
Speaking about the the inspiration for the promo, which features him battling Ariana's other potential suitors before winning her love, he explained: "The video is about modern-day relationships and how the internet has changed how people view relationships and their commitment levels."
