Jamie Bell has plans to start directing in the near future.

The actor, best known for his role as Billy Elliot in the 2000 film, was inspired after being directed by Clint Eastwood in Second World War movie Flags Of Our Father.

Bell wants to get started after receiving a couple more years of acting experience in future films.

"What's weird is that I work with these directors and then I start channelling them," he told WENN. "I kind of turn into them a bit."
