President Barack Obama still has over a year until he finishes his job but it seems he is already planning his post-White House career.

Reports in the US claim the politician has been receiving advice from Hollywood director Steven Spielberg on building his legacy when he leaves office.

The New York Times said Mr Obama spent an evening with the Jaws and Jurassic Park director and studio executive Jeffrey Katzenberg in Beverly Hills in June.

Spielberg is "focused on helping to develop a 'narrative' for Mr Obama in the years after he leaves office".

In 2013 Spielberg made a spoof video for the White House Correspondents' Dinner where he said he was directing a video on Mr Obama's life.

It is not known what Mr Obama has planned after November 2016 but it is thought he wants to raise 1bn US dollars to build his library in Chicago and then focus on philanthropic projects.
