Justin Bieber to star in own biopic, aged 16 | Film | guardian.co.uk

Most famous faces never get to see their own movie biopics – there's an unwritten rule that you usually have to be dead before being immortalised on the big screen. Not so teen megastar Justin Bieber, whose life story is set to be filmed before he has even reached his 17th birthday. Who will play him? Well, who better than Bieber himself?

According to the Deadline blog, the as yet untitled film will be directed in 3D by Davis Guggenheim, the Oscar-winning director of Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth. Bieber himself confirmed the news via his Twitter account yesterday. The film is due out on Valentine's day 2011 and will feature performances from the Canadian singer's current tour.

I also heard he's busy writing his memoirs. At age 16. Madness.

Desperate rush to make the last money he'll ever have to make before he gets binned by the record companies and dies of a drug overdose at 30 years old.

Congrats to him

You know you love me,I know you care
Just shout whenever, And I'll be there
You want my love, You want my heart
And we will never ever ever be apart

Are we an item? Girl quit playing
Were just friends, What are you saying
Said theres another, Look right in my eyes

He made that joke first

 

[Boss]

far from convincing

 

[Boss]

I wonder if he can handle the fame as it increases, they build you up to tear you down, it's all part of the sacrifice.

Who is this person?

I don't enter the entertainment forum for a whole three months and a generation of teen celebrities has come, gone, and had movies made of themselves.
