Move over Vin Diesel - Nelly wants to do more action movies.
Nelly Vision

And now for the movie success story that Mariah Carey hopes will one day be written about her...but on this occasion it's about Nelly. Sorry, Mimi!

Nelly's star turn in action comedy The Longest Yard was so successful that he's planning to make a few more flicks.

Nel admits he's not the greatest actor in the world - which is pretty refreshing, you've got to admit - but according to the Sun, he plans to stick to the roles that he's good at.

He told the tab: "I'm working on a few things. Hopefully everything goes as well as planned, but I'm really into the action."

Those of you hoping to catch him in a romcom in the near future should probably not be holding your breath, though: "I don't think I'm ready to cry on set yet. So you know, I'm trying to stay away from the sentimental things and stick to what works for me."

Don't sell yourself short, Nel - we thought you really captured the inner-torment of your character in the 'Dilemma' video...
