Fred Durst: "Limp Bizkit halted my directing career"

US rocker FRED DURST insists he would be an acclaimed film director if his band LIMP BIZKIT hadn't enjoyed so much success.

The ROLLIN' hitmaker is set to direct two upcoming feature-length movies - LIFE WITHOUT JOE and RUNT - but he was already in talks with studios before Limp Bizkit were catapulted onto the international stage in 2000.

And now he is free to concentrate on working behind the camera, Durst is adamant his talent will soon rank him alongside the most respected film-makers in Hollywood history.

He says, "While the band was taking off, I was trying to have meetings with movie people and all Limp Bizkit being successful did was hurt me and get in the way of the movie business.

"They don't take music people seriously. They'll take you serious if they wanna throw you in a film and let you be an actor and cash in on your success while you're hot, and that's not what I wanted to do.

"I was offered all kinds of cheesy movies that were really successful to direct and I was like, 'I'm not here to make movies like that.' I want to make timeless movies.

"I want to be beside MARTIN SCORSESE and WES ANDERSON and PAUL THOMAS ANDERSON and FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA. I'm a real director.

"So it took years and years of having meetings, going through the wrong people to the right people to get to this point where I am now."

Yes!!! Thank you Barbara!!! I remember thinking this must be the worst home made porn of all time. He is so grim (no offense to our very own Grimm, whom is lovely and probably makes excellent homemade porn while sporting a very large wiener).

^^ I actually thought those pics reminded me of Grimmlock a little

So sorry to say that!!

So was that a real porn he made? Seriously?? I never knew!!

Well, that depends on how you define 'real porn'. IF you define it as a man with questionable bedroom skills sporting a rather limited penis erectus while engaging in some of the worst sexual banter this side of Ben and Jen in Gigli (remember turkey gobbling comment?) then this is one for you.

^^ Ewww. So was it just him or was their a woman involved??

^^ I dunno, he's slept with quite a few famous women hasn't he?

There was an unidentified brunette involved. I didn't see much of it but she certainly looked bored out of her mind. Pretty much 'he's famous, I'll fuck him'.
