JASON DERULO is reinventing himself as a filmmaker and has revealed plans to produce big-budget Hollywood blockbusters. The US superstar has already sold 250million records, become one of the most followed people on TikTok and still had time to start a family.

He had a role in the celeb-studded but critically panned 2019 musical Cats and now wants to make sure he has control over future movies he is in, to make sure they are a success. Jason flew to London this week and sat down with Bizarre for an exclusive chat, where he explained: “I think whatever I do acting-wise, I need to be at the forefront of the output.

“What I’ve done in the past, it never works quite as well if I’m allowing somebody else to take the creative reins for me. “In 2025, I’m actively working on writing different films. I’ve written three already. Whichever one I decide to do first, it’s gonna be me pulling the strings.

“I’ve written one comedy, I’ve written a sort of Marvel-style movie, and a Christmas movie.”. His new focus on films isn’t to the detriment of his huge music career though, which has seen 15 Top Ten singles, including five No1s, over the past 15 years.

Today he is back with a new single called Snake, a collaboration with Bollywood megastar Nora Fatehi. Born in Canada, she has become one of India’s biggest stars and now has 47million followers on Instagram — far more than Sabrina Carpenter or Madonna.
