Cristiano Ronaldo says he wants to become a Hollywood actor when he retires

Juventus striker Cristiano Ronaldo says he would like to become a Hollywood actor once he retires from football

Cristiano Ronaldo says he is targeting a starring role in Hollywood after he retires from football.

The 34-year-old wants to follow in the footsteps of other footballers who have appeared in numerous feature-length productions, including Vinnie Jones, Eric Cantona and David Beckham.

The Portugal and Juventus forward, who is currently enjoying Serie A's mid-season break, was speaking at the Dubai International Sports Conference.

"I hope I live more than 50 years more and I want to prepare to face the obstacles of a new life, to do things I don't know how to do," he said.

Clinton Morrison thinks Manchester United teenager Mason Greenwood is a 'special talent', but has warned against comparing him to the likes of Ronaldo

"For example, to participate in a movie in Hollywood. But you need to have a good preparation, you need to have top English to give a top performance and then you don't have to be nervous.

"It's hard for me to be nervous in football because that's what I have prepared for my whole life."
