Mark Wahlberg Planning A Movie With Justin Bieber

by Anthony Miccio

Feel it, feel it! Mark Wahlberg let slip to New York at the Time 100 Gala that he’s putting a movie together with the apple of his daughter’s eye, Justin Bieber. “We’re doing it at Paramount. We pitched them the idea, and we talked to him about doing it and he loved the idea. Been sending me video—he sent me a video of himself and yeah, I think he’s really talented.” Bieber’s mom knows he’s sending videos of himself to older men, right? Just wanted to make sure.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like the movie will be a shirtless dance-stravaganza with Marky Mark making his long-awaited return to rap. “[It's] more of a drama. They may announce it fairly soon…kind of like a reluctant mentor in an inner-city environment. You know, I don’t want to say.” Don’t worry, Mark—you’ve said plenty! Even if this guy is prone to promise movies that never arrive (dude has a dozen sequels and a Billy Jack remake up in the air), we think a Dangerous Minds-style drama with the Biebs is guaranteed to make the fast-track.
