Paul, 25, a YouTube star, has already made a successful transition to the world of boxing.
Paul won all five of his fights, including two against former champion UFC fighter Tyron Woodley.
Gregory Allen Howard, a screenwriter, believes Bieber can follow Paul's path after being impressed by his boxing abilities.
He said to Vegas Insider, "From what I have seen of Justin Bieber's talent and boxing skills to cross from an entertainment background to boxing - it is possible for him to become the next Jake Paul."
