It’s given us Katy Perry’s left shark, Janet Jackson’s nipple and Beyonce ON FIRE{ =nofollow}, so next year’s Super Bowl halftime show has a lot to live up to.

And it looks like Bruno Mars will be performing for the 50th anniversary of the world-famous sports finale, after Super Bowl bosses offered him the prime slot.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Bruno could headline the halftime performance thanks to his success with Mark Ronson’s runaway dance track Uptown Funk.

The Super Bowl 50 won’t take place until 7 February 2016, so Bruno’s got a while yet to top Katy Perry’s show at this year’s game.

It’s not the first time Bruno’s been involved with the Super Bowl – his star appearance in the 2014 halftime show made it the most-watched Super Bowl event of all time, until Katy’s overtook him this year.

Neither Bruno or the NFL have officially confirmed the offer yet, so we’ll just have to contend ourselves with imagining just what the Marry You singer will bring to February’s show…

In 2001, he played cool guy Will in About A Boy, and for the role departed from his signature 90's curtains for a shorter, choppier 'do. RIP Hugh's curtains.
