An album with songs to get drunk, depressed and doubtful by sounds like a real winner. But actor Tim Robbins (The Shawshank Redemption, Dead Man Walking) — who recently split up with Susan Sarandon — seems to think this is exactly what the public want to hear, as revealed in a recent interview with the Daily Telegraph.

Robbins opened up about his life in the interview, stating "A midlife crisis — I think we all go through something, it's inevitable."

Robbins told the newspaper he plans to release the album later this year.

"[A midlife crisis is] when you pass 40," the actor said. "Inherently, we start to double our age when we think about life. You start thinking about how many years you've got left. 'What the hell am I doing here?' I asked myself. 'What is it that will make you happy? What is it you have not done that you will regret not doing?'"

Poking fun at his own worries about getting older, Robbins revealed that he'd considered calling it The Midlife Crisis Album.

"But then I thought that's not going to sell any copies," he joked. "Then I thought, 'How about Songs Of Love And Misery?'"

Robbins joins a long line of actors who've released albums, like Scarlett Johansson, Zooey Deschanel, Keanu Reeves, Russell Crowe and Minnie Driver.
