Los Angeles, Dec 30 (TIWN) While still passionate about his career in front of the camera, Hollywood star Idris Elba believes it would be a "natural progression" to move into directing.

"I love acting but I feel like there's much more to offer as a director, as a writer and a producer perhapsaI 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 said.

"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.

"It turns out that it's 30 years I've been in the game already, it still feels like only yesterday. I love acting, don't get me wrong, but there are other things that I like to do," the actor adds.
