The 18-year-old 'Boyfriend' hitmaker is seeking the help of actor-producer Mark Wahlberg and wants to follow the "Fighter" star's advice to make his transition into big screen action, reported Showbizspy.
"Justin really wants to break into movies but he wants to do a project of his own. He loves action movies and is a huge fan of Mark and sees him as very much the kind of actor he wants to be, especially as Mark started out in pop," a source said.
"Unfortunately Justin has not quite got the physique for an action movie just yet. He is working out with a personal trainer but the fitter he gets the skinnier he ends up," it added.
This year the singer released 'Boyfriend', his first single from the upcoming third studio album, 'Believe'. The song was a commercial success, debuting at number two on the Billboard Hot 100.
