"Fine. Great. That would be cool," she said. "Would he be playing me or Mark Wahlberg?"
The 35-year-old actress immediately started giggling but quickly tried to move past the small dig at the teenage popstar. She went on to clarify, saying it would be believable if he had a crazy fan after him.
"Is it like a girl who harasses the family, like a stalker who can't leave him alone? That would be good," she said. "I mean girls get crazy about him."
We admit we can't really see Bieber, 17, taking on Wahlberg's role as a psychotic stalker who terrorizes his girlfriend and her family.
Despite the remark, Reese went on to say she's a fan of the singer.
"He's very talented," she said. "I didn't know much about him until I saw the documentary ["Never Say Never"] and I thought that was really worthwhile and worth seeing, and it made me think, 'What a sweetheart.'"

why she gotta diss the bieb? she ain't all that and neither is he for that matter. she's an aging hollywood chic and he looks like a white chic at her debutant party. geez get over yourselves peeps!
coolgarfield: why she gotta diss the bieb? she ain't all that
You go, Reese! I'm soooooooo sick of hrearing about this obnoxious little tweerp and those Kardashian girls. ENOUGH! Wish they'd all sink into obscurity once and for all!
mistykay13: You go, Reese! I'm soooooooo sick of hrearing about this
WOW she doesn't seem to have any filters in her head. She ragged about Robert Pattinson after doing a movie with him. Honestly where does she get off putting anyone down. She really is nothing special. She needs to do some major maturing.
Michael_T_Campbell: WOW she doesn't seem to have any filters in her
That's not a diss. She's talking about the character role. Is he going to play the antagonist(Mark Character) or the pacifist(Reese Character) Man... media really likes to create drama.
Timothy_Zarza: That's not a diss. She's talking about the character role.
I know, right? There has to be someone out there smart enough to think of a couple new plot twists, or at least have enough imagination to call it "Terror" instead.
;-)
MarieNat: I know, right? There has to be someone out there
We have seen a lot worse slide down the teen idol pipe than this kid... but Reese did have a point. I saw Mr. Bieber try and play a bad guy on some TV show (Monk?) and I wasn't buying it at all. Hard to be a heavy when you are prettier than most girls.
Blastrocat: We have seen a lot worse slide down the teen
i lol'd when i read is he playing me or mark wahlberg.. but seriously, reese, just say it how it is, stop lying, he has no talent, hes just popular amongst the pedo and tween markets, ie, they are buying their fantasy with a little underdeveloped boy lol
curare1081: i lol'd when i read is he playing me or
she's got a sharp tongue. i recall her saying that doing a scene with robert pattinson in "water for elephants" was digusting because he had a cold and she was grossed out. she had to walk back the comments, but the damage was done.
she ha a right to her opinion, but i think that the comment was unnecessary.
