Mark Wahlberg seems to be hinting at a new project with Justin Bieber during his latest appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show". While speaking to Ellen DeGeneres in the Friday, January 6 episode of the show, the "Transformers: Age of Extinction" actor said he had a "Canadian fellow" over for a family dinner.

Wahlberg, who was on the talk show to promote his new movie, "Patriots Day", was asked about his 13-year-old daughter Ella. The 45-year-old hunk responded by discussing the way the young lady's growing up, before recalling that he had dinner with a "very successful friend."

"I had a very successful friend who was there, and she's a big fan. We invited him over for dinner," Wahlberg revealed. "It's a young man who's been [on Ellen's show] before," he continued, before describing his mystery dinner guest, "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. "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," before she went on asking, "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."
