Tyrese Gibson: I want to direct

6th July 2011

(Cover) - EN Movies - Tyrese Gibson would love to become an "educated director".

The 32-year-old rapper-and-actor is currently promoting sci-fi action adventure Transformers: Dark of the Moon, where he portrays Epps alongside Shia LaBeouf and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

The multi-talented star is interested in one day putting his skills to use behind the camera, although is adamant he would get all the right training first.

"You know what? I want to be more of an educated director," he replied when Collider asked if he plans to direct.

"So I've been around many directors and I feel like I know what I want to see. But I want to be able to know the different camera lens sizes. I want to be able to go out there with a camera and actually play around with some ideas and stuff before I could ever put that hat on."

Tyrese is putting his directing plans on hold for a while though, as he's so busy with other work commitments. The star believes it is important to focus on the things he can do well before branching out.

"I've already written seven screenplays, I'm developing TV shows, I have a reality TV show going, I've just written my first book which is a New York Times bestseller called How to Get Out of Your Own Way, and I just completed my new album called Open Invitation.

"So I like to spread my gifts and my talents out there. But I also like to tackle things that I am a little bit more experienced in before I do it," he explained. (C) Cover Media
