The father-of-three went on to explain why he decided to make the transition from actor to director.
‘I think if you’re going to take the leap as a director, with any film it’s got to be a story that’s dear to you,’ Simon told Daily Mail Australia.
‘Otherwise you’re going to be putting a lot of your heart and soul into something that you don’t care much about,’ he went on to say.
