Bieber set to play Cupid in animated film
JUSTIN Bieber is set to voice the God of Love in a forthcoming animation fi lm.
The singer has teamed up with Mythos Studios to develop a movie based on Cupid — the God of desire, erotic love, attraction and affection in classical mythology — and it seems his harmonious tones have come in handy as he’s not just creating the blockbuster, he’s also to lend his vocals to the lead character. Producer Scooter Braun — who is also Bieber’s manager — said: “When this project was brought to Justin, he instantly was excited to be a part of it. Fortunately for us, like Cupid, he knows a little bit about love and mischief.” David Maisel — cofounder of Mythos — added to Variety. com: “Both myself and Scooter have a lifelong love of mythology and we are so excited to partner with Justin to bring the amazing, magical story of Cupid to the world.”
Maisel — who is the founding chairman of Marvel Studios — certainly has experience when it comes to animation as he executive produced ‘ The Angry Birds Movie’ along with the fi rst two ‘Iron Man’ fi lms and ‘ The Incredible Hulk.’
Bieber, 24, teased the movie this week when he uploaded a sketch on Instagram of Cupid with his famous bow and arrow along with the caption: “# cupidmovie.”
And the ‘ Sorry’ hitmaker is certainly no stranger to love as him and his girlfriend Selena Gomez have been on and off for years before rekindling their romance last year shortly after she underwent a life- saving kidney transplant operation.
