Kevin Winter/Getty Images; Lester Cohen/WireImage.comJustin Bieber's determined to make the transition into acting. He's already done the CSI guest spot and filmed a 3-D biopic/concert movie, which hits theaters on Feb. 11.
Now it's time for a real leading role...
"I want to be the lead star in a movie. Can we make that happen, Scooter?" Biebs asks his manager (who is really named Scooter) in October's Teen Vogue. Of course! We can make anything the Bieber desires happen.
That's when Scooter reveals a secret Will Smith-produced project that's already in the works. It will be "just a fictional piece that may have some similarities to Justin's life. The film is likely to begin production next spring or summer." See, it pays to record title tracks for powerful Hollywood kids' summer blockbusters.

Aw yeah! Nailed it, Biebs! Did you know he didn't even really need an acting coach to act that awesome? That's not to say he didn't have one, though.
"[The CSI acting coach] told me it was all about the emotion," he tells Teen Vogue. "She said, 'You have to feel the character. You have to be Jason.' " But, he says, "I think I would have done it the same whether I channeled my feelings or not."
Yep, that's all raw, natural talent. Now who's excited for more Bieber acting?!
