Justin Bieber has congratulated True Grit star Hailee Stenfield on Twitter after the 14-year old received an Oscar nomination yesterday.
Despite the Baby hitmaker allegedly dating Selena Gomez, Biebs took to the social networking site to gush about the youngster, who has previously admitted to having a crush on Justin.
The 16-year old posted two congratulatory tweets about Steinfield, the first saying: "met at the Globes and she is super talented. CONGRATS to Hailee Steinfeld for being 14 and getting nominated for an OSCAR for TRUE GRIT!"
Bieber, who yesterday debuted the poster for his own 3D movie Never Say Never, then added: "Now Hailee get a twitter"
Speaking of her Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress, Hailee told comedian Jimmy Kimmel: "I was asleep when the announcements were being made - I actually woke up to my parents screaming in the other room."
"It was very exciting I think I got more text messages today than any other time in my life."
She continued: "Its very overwhelming, it's a lot to comprehend but I have great family and friends who are very supportive."
Kimmel then joked: "Maybe the most overwhelming is that Justin Bieber tweeted to and about you today, did you know that?"
The young actress coyly replied: "I did, a friend told me…"
