"Bruno says it will probably be the most nerve-racking move of his career if it happens," said a source. "Prince was one of his idols so to be asked to take on a hefty role like that especially as a debut acting move is full-on."

"The offer has come out of the blue. Bruno used to love acting when he was younger but it's not an avenue he's explored," the source continued. Bruno and Prince's estate have yet to respond to the claims.

Are you excited for Bruno Mars' acting debut?
