Justin Bieber will reportedly play a younger version of Ashton Kutcher in the funny man's upcoming comedy flick, 'What Would Kenny Do?' A source close to the pending project reports that the Biebs is "both in mind and on board."

The film, put in play by Kutcher's Katalyst Entertainment, follows "a teenager who meets a hologram claiming to be the adult version of himself; the hologram then helps guide the teen through high school" -- with Bieber portraying the teenage version of Kutcher, naturally.

The 'Baby' singer honed his acting skills recently while appearing in two different episodes of 'CSI' -- not to mention the fact that his debut documentary film, 'Never Say Never,' trampled others at the box office, so he's no stranger to being in front of the camera.

Film production will be put on hold until 2012, should Bieber decide to jump in to fill the co-starring role. (This way, the teen pop icon is clear of any touring conflicts.) It's a plus that Bieber recently marked his 17th birthday, since 'What Would Kenny Do?' is reportedly a rated 'R' flick.
