British funnyman SIMON PEGG would like to swap acting for a more low-key role in showbiz - he wants to become a director.
The Shaun of the Dead actor wrote and starred in a number of British television shows before making the move into Hollywood movies, and is now considering working behind the camera.
And the star confesses the reason he wants to start directing is because he is sick of all the crap he has to deal with as an actor.
He says, "I think I’m ready now because I have a lot of ideas of my own. Part of me just wants to do that (directing) and f**k off out of the limelight.
"I completely understand why a lot of actors retreat into directing. You get to be part of the world of filmmaking, but you don’t have to deal with any of the s**t."

A TV stuntman is lucky to be alive after actor JIMMY SMITS stabbed him for real during a fight scene for TV show DEXTER.
Smits grabbed a real knife instead of a prop knife during shooting and plunged it into action man Jeff Chase.
Chase was only saved by a piece of plastic placed over his heart - which Smits miraculously hit.
He says, "For the scene, I was bound in Saran Wrap, duct tape over my mouth.
I couldn’t say a thing as I saw Jimmy grab at the knife. He picked up the real one by pure mistake. It was a mean looking knife.
"I heard fellow actor Michael C. Hall yelling at Jimmy to stop - but it was too late. I felt the thud in my chest. I didn’t have on a metal breast plate like a lot of actors do in a scene like that.
"Instead I had a piece of acrylic clear plastic about the size of a Post-it note over my heart. It was a quarter of an inch thick and not attacked. In eight out of 10 takes with the prop knife, Jimmy had missed the plastic. But by a miracle, an act of God, the knife landed at the very edge of the plastic.
"I really thought I’d been stabbed in the heart, but I didn’t have a scratch.
Jimmy was devastated and couldn’t stop apologising. I told him, I felt more sorry for him than me."

And he confesses that he’d already made up his mind about quitting the band in 2006, during their world tour.
He says, "I told him every night after the Brazilian tour that I wasn’t going to do this again. I did Brazil for the money. I just felt it was like an empty shell, New Order. It really was for me. I can’t talk for the others."

LIMP BIZKIT frontman FRED DURST has confirmed the rock band are reuniting, two and a half years after they split.
The rockers went their separate ways in 2006, following the failure of 2005 comeback album The Unquestionable Truth.
Bandmembers have since worked on solo projects, with Wes Borland joining Marilyn Manson’s band and Durst trying his hand as a Hollywood director.
Rumours of a reunion recently began to circulate after pictures appearing to show the band rehearsing appeared online.
And Durst confirms on the band’s MySpace page: "Yes, it has been a while. But a while worth the wait. It is getting very close to time to drop the Bizkit on the universe. I say this with the absolute best intentions and motivation. We, Limp Bizkit, are excited about the future for us and for you. Let’s stir some s**t up my friends." However, Borland isn’t part of the comeback - he has been replaced by Evanescence guitarist Terry Balsamo.

Tons of love." Nicky’s sister Paris has also voiced her support for Goldstein - and she is sure the DJ’s survival was a result of divine intervention.
Calling into Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS FM show on Thursday (02Oct08) morning, Hilton said, "With all the love and support coming in, it really means a lot.
He’s such a good person. I feel like God really did save him."

PAMELA ANDERSON has written a stern letter to Aussie actress CATE BLANCHETT, urging the Oscar-winner to stop wearing Armani clothes.
The model/actress has teamed up with animal rights activists at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) - to encourage A-list stars to shun fashion designer Giorgio Armani over his refusal to cut fur from his lines, and now she’s taking aim at one of the fashion guru’s closest friends.
She wants Blanchett to wear other designers’ creations to red carpet events until Armani agrees to stop using fur.
In her letter to the Elizabeth star, Anderson writes, "Cate, as you are such a huge part of Armani’s publicity machine, would you please urge him to keep his promise and leave fur out of his future collections?" A spokesman for the designer has confirmed Armani plans to cease using all but rabbit fur in future creations, adding, "As a luxury fashion house, which has always been attentive to this issue, we feel we are being unfairly targeted in comparison to our competitors."

JAMES BOND star SIR ROGER MOORE gave up on his first attempt to write his life story - when the manuscript was stolen at an airport.
The 007 veteran, who lives in Switzerland, began to pen his autobiography several years ago but scrapped the project when he was targeted by thieves in Geneva.
And it was only after he turned 80 last year (07) that he decided to have another go at writing his memoirs - when his wife Kristina and daughter Deborah convinced him it was a good idea.
Moore, who suffered several health problems as a child, tells WENN, "I was pushed by my wife, my daughter - and Michael Caine a few years ago had done his (autobiography).
"I did try years ago and then lost the manuscript - well, it was stolen. It was on a disc in my bag, stolen at the airport at Geneva. I’d got about 14,000, 15,000 words. It quite put me off.
"I wasn’t doing it as a straight autobiography because I never wanted to do that. It was going to be about my medical history. I was going to talk about my childhood, with various ops (operations) and what have you - and I was going to call it Out of the Bedpan, Into the Fire. But it was never to be.
"Then my 80th came along and I was talking to Kristina and Deborah and said ‘OK, I’ll try.’" Moore’s life story - My Word Is My Bond - is released in the U.K. this week (02Oct08).

LATEST: HEIDI KLUM and the makers of U.S. TV series PROJECT RUNWAY have been cleared of stealing the concept for the hit show from two fashion designers.
Cynthia Rodriguez and Elizabeth Zwiebach filed suit against Klum, Disney, Disney’s Miramax Film Corp, Miramax founders Harvey and Robert Weinstein, their new venture Weinstein Company, and NBC Universal in December 2005.
The pair claimed that they originally developed the idea for Project Runway and had allegedly sent a 40-page outline for a reality show they were interested in developing, titled American Runway, to Klum’s agents after first approaching them about it in July 2003.
The show was first aired on the Bravo channel, which is part of NBC Universal, in December 2004.
Rodriguez and Zweibach also claim to have registered and copyrighted the work with the Writer’s Guild of America in March 2003, and that Project Runway was "strikingly similar" to their idea.
But the case was thrown out on Wednesday (01Oct08) by Manhattan Federal Judge Loretta Preska, who said there were more than enough differences to conclude Klum and the makers did not poach the idea, according to New York Daily News.

JENNIFER ANISTON has blasted critics who accuse the actress of using her love life for publicity, branding the insult "below the belt".
The former Friends star has enjoyed a series of high profile relationships over the years, including a five-year marriage to Brad Pitt, and romances with Vince Vaughn and singer John Mayer.
But she insists she’s never used the romances to further her own career.
She says, "It’s been incorrectly alleged that I’d abuse a romantic attachment as a publicity stunt. That’s below the belt.
"To love and be loved is the most beautiful thing that can happen to a person, and one’s own life is more important than all the glamour and fame in the world."
