Cristiano Ronaldo is set to make his acting debut – just days after announcing his international football retirement. The Portuguese superstar shared photos of his new project, Days 1s, which is the first TV series from his studio UR Marv.
Ronaldo, still playing for Al-Nassr aged 41, posted photos from the set online and wrote: “Exciting news! Production of my first TV show, Day 1s, has just started. More to come!” Days 1s is going to be a drama set behind the scenes of British football, It follows an elite football agent Stanley Dalton played by Homeland’s Damian Lewis. Rapper Dave and Arsenal legend Thierry Henry are also in the cast.
CR7 is executive producing alongside Kingsman director Matthew Vaughn, with whom he co-founded UR Marv Studios. However, he is also set to appear in front of the camera for his scripted acting debut – where he will play himself.
He has regularly said he’d like to go into movies when it’s time to hang up his boots, telling Sky Italia in 2018: “My football career will finish one day – we all have to retire one day.
“When I am retired, I think I will have a good life. I don’t say that because of money. I want to try other things; for example, to do movies.”
Ronaldo announced his retirement from international football after 23 years with Portugal following a major public fallout with manager Jorge Jesus.
He said: ”To the Portuguese people, the day has come for me to hand back the No. 7 shirt of our national team. I never felt it belonged to me alone. But for 23 years, I had the privilege and the responsibility of wearing it, defending it, and carrying it with me into stadiums all around the world.
”Today, the time has come to pass it on to the future. It was not an easy decision. Because some decisions are not made with the mind alone. They are also made with the heart.
”A journey that began in August 2003, and changed my life forever, has come to an end. When I look back at everything I experienced with the national team, I don’t just see matches, goals, records, or trophies. I see people.”
