If you are a fan of Jessica Chastain's acting skills then we might have some sad news for you.

In a recent interview, the 'Molly's Game' actress has revealed that she is planning to quit acting and move behind the camera because she's keen to bring other people into the spotlight to enjoy the success she's had in her career, reports Contactmusic.com.

While talking to a leading US publication, Chastain said, "Every day I feel like there is something new I never imagined I'd be doing. If anything, I think in the future I'm going to step back and I'm probably going to produce more. I may even direct."

The Oscar nominated actress also shared that she doesn't feel that she has anything to sacrifice because in reality this world is bigger than what her dream was.

"I'm interested in taking the light that has been shined on me and maybe shining it on some other people," added Chastain.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Chastain will be next seen in 'Molly's Game' alongside Idris Elba and Kevin Costner.

Chastain has been garnering praises for her role in the movie and is a frontrunner in the Oscars race this year in the Best Actor (Female) category.
