Mark Wahlberg to work with Justin Bieber?

Actor Mark Wahlberg seems to be hinting at a new project with Grammy Award-winning Canadian singer Justin Bieber.

During his appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" on Friday, the actor said he had a "Canadian fellow" over for a family dinner, reports aceshowbiz.com.

Wahlberg was asked about his 13-year-old daughter Ella.

"I had a very successful friend who was there, and she's a big fan. We invited him over for dinner," Wahlberg said.

"It's a young man who's been (on Ellen's show) before. He's a very nice young man, Canadian fellow."

"She liked him a lot when she was younger, then turned on him completely, and then came back with a vengeance like, 'Dad, that's going to be my husband'," Wahlberg told Ellen DeGeneres.

"I said, 'Over my dead body. Actually, over both of your dead bodies. I'll just go back to jail.' But then, not a word."

The 58-year host concluded: "So Justin Bieber is sitting there." Then she asked: "Are you going to work together?"

Wahlberg cryptically replied: "Maybe."

While it's unclear what kind of project he'd like to work on with Bieber, he later did confirm that he wouldn't be working on "any music".
