“I think people think I’m an actor-turned-director, but I’m really a director-producer-turned-actor,” the star explained to the mag. “I’ve always loved being behind the camera, I’ve always been interested in the business side and so directing always felt very natural to me.”
“I used ‘Desperate Housewives‘ as my film school — that’s where I learned everything,” explained Longoria.
“Flamin’ Hot” is streaming on Hulu and Disney+ now.
