Idris Elba shared about the possibility of progressing into directing from acting in a recent interview and said that it would be a natural progression if he follows this path, as reported by Mid-Day.
Idris said that he likes acting though there is much more to offer as a director, writer, or producer and for that reason, he would like to pursue directing.
Idris said, "I love acting but I feel like there's much more to offer as a director, as a writer and a producer perhaps I feel there are characters and roles that I haven't done yet and I still want to do those, but the truth is that I'd probably like to do that as an offering as a film director/actor."
He further added, "There are some incredible people like Jon Favreau, like Denzel who have acted and directed, and directed themselves in movies and I feel like that's a natural progression for an actor."
Idris also talked about doing more with his music career along with acting and directing.
