Former French, Arsenal and Barcelona midfielder Emmanuel Petit has spoken about Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo.
Idman.Biz reports that Petit said Ronaldo could be successful in cinema.
"Could Cristiano Ronaldo be a big movie star? Of course. It is surprising that there are not more athletes in movies. We see rappers, freelancers, and other famous people in movies, but not athletes. Why? We also entertain people. Athletes are good for that. Eric Cantona has been in movies, Vinnie Jones, David Ginola, Frank Leboeuf. Why can't others do it?
Ronaldo has charisma and aura. He is the most popular person on social media. Imagine him surrounded by Hollywood stars. He wouldn't have to prove anything to them. He could say something like, "You are big stars, but I am Cristiano Ronaldo. I am probably one of the best players in football history. I am a billionaire. I have won everything I could in football. So who are you?"
"Oscar"? Sometime. A movie could be made about his life. I have never seen a psychologically stronger person," Petit said in an interview with Hochgepokert.
