The American actor, film and TV producer, Mark Wahlberg, revealed his plans to team-up with Justin Bieber for a big-screen effort for Paramount earlier this year and as he readies for the release of upcoming actioner Contraband, the actor-producer
further explained why he wanted to work with the teen pop sensation Bieber.
Intuition: I’m pretty intuitive," Wahlberg told MTV News of why working with Bieber on a drama was a no-brainer.
The 40-year-old also touched on Bieber’s potential, praising his work ethic.
"I see the guy and spent time with him and you see what he does and how he does it," Wahlberg said, "and then you actually have a conversation with him and it’s there."
But Wahlberg already has a Plan B should Bieber have struggles: "If not, I will extract it."
At the MTV Movie Awards, Wahlberg and Bieber revealed more details about what to expect. "Think of
The Colour of Money," Wahlberg said of his part. "I get this call from Paramount [with a story about] an old guy and a young guy," suggesting actors like Jack Nicholson, Robert De Niro and Robert Duvall for the "old guy" role.
Back in April, Wahlberg said that he was developing a project with Bieber that would centre on basketball.
"We pitched [Paramount] the idea and, you know, we’re talking about doing it," he said at the time. "[Bieber’s] been sending me video, he sent me a video of himself, and, yeah, I think he is really talented."
Wahlberg next appears in Contraband, an action thriller co-starring Kate Beckinsale, which is scheduled to be officially opened on January 13, 2012
