Ewan McGregor says he has no plans to rush back to directing after making his debut with American Pastoral.

The 1960s-set drama, based on Philip Roth's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, premiered at the Toronto film festival.

McGregor also stars in the film, alongside Jennifer Connelly and Dakota Fanning.

Speaking to the BBC, McGregor said: "On the one hand it's been the most incredible experience and I would long to do it again."

"And on the other hand, it's a very costly experience - 16,17,18 months of your life - carrying something very precious."

He highlighted the challenge of juggling directing with "trying to be a husband and a father and a human being".
