Earlier Justin Bieber has made several cameo appearances in different TV series – usually playing himself – but he had not tried himself as an actor.

Mark Wahlberg said: "Justin Bieber and I are going to do a movie together. He loves the idea. He's been sending me video, he sent me a video of himself, and, yeah, I think he's really talented".

Last week Justin Bieber and Kanye West were included in the annual list of 100 most influential people of the world, created by Time magazine. They shared the chart with such persons as Oprah Winfrey, US president Barack Obama, as well as Prince William and Kate Middleton.

The article about Justin Bieber, written by Usher, says: "From the minute I met Justin, I knew this kid possessed a certain confidence that only a star could have. He was born a star. He knew what he wanted to accomplish; all he had to do was get everyone else to believe it".
