Cristiano Ronaldo has been tipped to make a move into Hollywood once his playing career comes to an end, with the Portuguese icon told he could even end up at the Oscars.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner continues to break records on the pitch and remains one of the biggest names in world sport, but talk has now turned to what could come next for the “billionaire” superstar.
Ronaldo has built a global brand alongside his football career and has become a major figure away from the game through business projects and sponsorship work. That profile, combined with his fame, has seen him backed to swap stadiums for the big screen.
Speaking about Ronaldo’s future, a prediction was made that he could follow a path into acting, with the suggestion that the sport’s greats can thrive in entertainment once they step away from professional football.
It was even claimed that Ronaldo could one day find himself involved in the film industry’s biggest night, with the memorable line: “The Oscars? One day.”
Ronaldo, now with Al Nassr, has shown no signs of slowing down and remains focused on his career in Saudi Arabia, but the idea of him taking on a new challenge in Hollywood has gathered momentum.
For now, his attention stays on football, yet the belief is growing that a player of his stature could successfully transfer his star power to movies when the time is right.
