Singer James Arthur has said he wants to try his hand at acting as he wishes to see himself turn into another person altogether.
The 29-year-old musician said he is bored of being just himself and wants to be creatively inspired, reported DigitalSpy.
"I would like to get involved in acting. My life for the last five years has been about being James Arthur, I would like to be someone else.
"I like to mess around and be different characters. It's being creative in a different way," Arthur told Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield on "This Morning" show.
The former "X Factor" winner also dished about his book and said he felt obliged to write about his traumatic childhood to help those in need.
"I felt like I needed to help other people who were struggling with mental health issues. I go right back to my childhood.
"I felt a little embarrassed about writing a book, the only way I was going to do it was if I could be candid and honest," he said.
