The 40-year-old Beginners star said that although the opportunity hasn't happened yet, he would love to step behind the camera.
He told the Santa Monica Mirror, 'I've been slightly nervous about it because it's such a big idea. I also never wanted to do it just to be a director but rather to do it because I want to tell a particular story and I'm still waiting for that story to find me.'
But he joked, 'The real reason I would like to direct is so that I can turn up at work and not take off my clothes. It seems like every day I turn up for work I have to take off my clothes and put on someone else's clothes so it would be quite nice to just wear my own clothes all day.
