Has Cristiano Ronaldo already found his career path? Still very competitive in Saudi Arabia, at Al-Nassr, where he is running behind 1,000 career goals, the man with 5 Ballons d’Or could very soon appear… in the cinema.
Indeed, Vin Diesel, the famous American actor and producer, revealed via an Instagram post published this Saturday that CR7 could star in the next film Fast & Furiousexpected in theaters in 2027. “We wrote a role for him…”, he said in the caption of a photo in which the two stars pose side by side. “Everyone asked me if he would be part of the mythology Fast… I have to tell you that he is one of them,” confirmed the interpreter of Dominic Toretto, main character in the saga favorite of car racing fans.
In the footsteps of other athletes
If Cristiano Ronaldo has not confirmed this announcement, he could well make his cinema debut on the occasion of the eleventh and final installment of the franchise, which has become, over the years, a veritable factory for cameos by stars and sometimes even athletes, like the MMA fighter Francis Ngannou, who appeared in Fast & Furious 9 in 2021.
Filming of the big American production was interrupted at the start of the year due to the violent fires that ravaged Los Angeles and should resume quickly according to Vin Diesel’s latest statements.
On a sporting level, Ronaldo has had a very good start to the season with his club Al-Nassr (11 goals in 12 matches in all competitions). The 40-year-old forward is also set to take part in his sixth and final World Cup for Portugal next summer in North America.
