Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed he has already given some thought to his career when he eventually retires from football and says he’d be interested in being an actor.
Real Madrid’s all time leading scorer still has three years to run on his current deal at the Santiago Bernabeu and with rumours that he’s interested in a move to the MLS after that, hanging up his boots may still be some time away.
The 31-year-old was the feature of a documentary called Ronaldo last year and he’s also been in plenty of adverts during his career giving him exposure to working in front of the camera.
But he admitted that if he were to go down the acting route – just like Eric Cantona and Vinnie Jones before him – he’d need to have plenty of guidance and training to be taken seriously.
He told Sacoor Brothers: “I would like to learn being surrounded by good actors because only then will I learn since it is an area I do not control because it has nothing to do with football. Why not? It’s not my goal at the moment, but I have had some invitations.”
And fan worried a switch to acting will happen soon need not lose any sleep though. Ronaldo continued: “I feel good, I feel young, so I want to continue. I do not put goals as a football player, only the body will tell and the mind also. I want to enjoy and win more at the collective level and individual level.”
