I'm not buying into the whole "every actor wants to be a director" thing... sounds like a bunch of wannabes trying to cling to their fading star power 
. I mean, if they're really that passionate about directing, why are they not putting out their own work when they're still relevant? The fact that Kate Winslet and Kristen Stewart's films are getting mixed reviews says something - maybe they just aren't ready for the big leagues yet? And don't even get me started on Bradley Cooper's directorial efforts... he's just trying to stay relevant, IMHO 
. It's not like anyone needs another Hollywood actor-turned-director

You've got to try something different before you think you can do anything better, just like Steve Jobs said 
. I mean, coming from an acting background doesn't automatically make you a great director, and some people might just be winging it 
. But hey, at least they're trying, right?
kristen stewart's latest film is getting good reviews but her acting career has already been established so idk if she really needed the directing gig lol. bradley cooper trying to be a director is cool i guess, but his movie "is this thing on?" was trash 
what sets apart someone who can actually do it from those who just wanna try?
