Cristiano Ronaldo is headed to the silver screen, according to Spanish newspaper Marca.
The newspaper reported that Ronaldo has been given a part in an upcoming Martin Scorsese film called "The Manipulator."
The movie is based on the life of Alessandro Proto, Donald Trump's business partner who thinks himself to be the inspiration for the character Christian Grey from the novels/movie "Fifty Shades of Grey."
"The Manipulator" will be filmed in Proto's former Trump Tower apartment, which is now owned by, coincidentally, Cristiano Ronaldo.
So now we know how he got the part.
This is good, though, because if any footballer is suited for the bright lights of Hollywood (besides, of course, David Beckham), it's Cristiano Ronaldo.
