During a live question-and-answer session on Twitter, a fan asked Braun: "Do you think Justin could ever possibly collab with One Direction?"
He replied: "Very possible. He likes them and thinks they are good dudes. All people of that generation should be there to help each other."
Bieber is preparing to release his third studio album Believe and will debut his new single 'Boyfriend' on March 26.
Meanwhile, One Direction are currently touring the US with Big Time Rush and recently allegedly got told off by record label bosses after trashing a bowling alley in New York during a post-gig party.
