Cristiano Ronaldo has been backed to take on a surprise role off the pitch, with the Portugal star being tipped to play the Joker in a Batman movie.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner, now starring for Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, has long been linked with the world of entertainment thanks to his global profile and huge following. Now, talk has turned to whether he could make the jump into acting.
Ronaldo has been told he would be a good fit for the Joker, one of the most famous villains in comic book history, and the suggestion comes with the view that his look, presence and star power could translate to the big screen.
Those backing the idea have also pointed to Los Angeles as a natural place for Ronaldo to explore life beyond football, with the 39-year-old described as someone who is “made for LA”.
Ronaldo has not confirmed any plans to act, and there has been no official announcement about him joining any Batman project. For now, the links remain a talking point as he continues his career in Saudi Arabia.
