The 26-year-old singer's confidence in his acting ability has grown after starring in a string of stage musicals and he'd love to transfer his skills onto film.
He told the Daily Star newspaper: "There was talks before about possibly doing a film and getting into acting a bit more but I've been so busy.
"I would really love to be in a film, after being on stage for 'Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat'. I now have the confidence with acting and it's opened up a whole new world of performing."
"I now have the confidence with acting and it's opened up a whole new world of performing.
"I would love to be in a re-make of 'Grease!', a real modern version, a brand new storyline, something for our generation that has the same effect that 'Grease!' had all them years ago.
"I wish there was a modernised version of it, that would be fun to be a part of and now I believe I have the ability."
Joe shot to fame after being mentored to victory on 'The X Factor' by Cheryl Tweedy in 2009.
However, he admits he is "very busy" and not in much contact with anyone from the show, so hasn't met Cheryl and Liam Payne's four-month-old son Bear yet.
He said: "We are all very busy, Cheryl's just had a baby so she's twice as busy. If we see each other we have a chat but it's not like we have a WhatsApp group!
"I've not met the baby, I don't even have time to go home right now let alone meet new babies!" His first album in three years is out now."
One thing keeping Joe busy is his new album, 'Saturday Night at the Movies', which features his take on classic stage songs.
He said of the record: "They are songs you can put on in your car and just belt out."
