A source said: "Work is really taking off for Guy at the moment and he is lining up talent for projects in the pipeline.

"Guy and Justin have known each other for a while through Guy's ex-missus Madonna. Guy rates Justin as an actor. He thought he was impressive in Alpha Dog. He likes his personality."
