Justin Bieber to work with Mark Wahlberg

LOS ANGELES - January 3, 2012.  In the course of interviews for Wahlbergs latest film, Contraband, two things came out of the woodwork.

  1. Wahlberg's daughter doesn't like what she's heard about his 1990s incarnation as rapper and Calvin Klein underwear model Marky Mark.
  2. Wahlberg plans to work with Justin Beiber on a new film project.

"I think he's really talented.  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.  If not, I will extract it."

The upcoming Paramount drama is supposed to be a piece about a young guy and an old guy - a formula which has had great success in the past.  Certainly with Beiber involved it will be a hit.

And let's hope Marky Mark will warn Beiber about the perils of youthful indescretion.  If you can't get enough about Mark Wahlberg's not-so-secret past complete with slideshow and videos, check out
