The first day of the 2024 NHL All-Star weekend was a hoot in Toronto as Justin Bieber surprised fans with a show and Michael Bublé surprised fans with a shocking revelation.

On Thursday, Bublé made his first appearance in the city as the celebrity co-captain of Team Hughes in the All-Star draft.

Little did fans know that while he was out on the ice, he was actually under the influence of a psychedelic drug.

“My buddy told me this is just a microdose of mushrooms and he was lying,” Bublé said.

“So, I’ll be honest, I thought I was in Blades of Glory for most of the time that I was out there until it sort of settled down. And then I realized holy s**t, I am at the NHL All-Star game,” he continued.

Afterwards, fellow co-captain and actor Will Arnett entertained the thought and said, “Through all the incredible songs that you’ve done over the years, and all the hearts of women you’ve won over around the world. With all that talk about fantasy hockey, you lost them all in one sentence.”

Fans were quick to react online to Bublé’s confession.
