Cristiano Ronaldo could be Vinnie Jones' sidekick in Hollywood, says Hislop | OneFootball

Cristiano Ronaldo could explore a move into Hollywood, with Shaka Hislop suggesting he might even be Vinnie Jones' sidekick. According to Goal.com, speculation over his next step is growing as he nears retirement at 41.

Ronaldo's celebrity stands alongside A-list names, backed by vast followings from Instagram to YouTube. CR7 is a global brand with multiple business ventures and is among the most marketable figures in sport.

Hislop said the Portuguese has the freedom to choose his next chapter, noting he is not short of money and remains one of the most famous people on the planet. "Whether he ends up in Hollywood or not, I can't say." "But he's earned the right to do whatever he wants, even if it has to be Vinnie Jones' sidekick in Hollywood."

Jones, a former Wimbledon enforcer and FA Cup winner, has clocked more than 90 film and television credits, including Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Gone in 60 Seconds and Mean Machine.

Ex-Manchester United team-mate Mikael Silvestre has previously said Ronaldo once mentioned at awards in Dubai that he wanted to act, suggesting that could be his next move. He argued that if Jones could make the switch, Ronaldo could too.

World Cup winner Emmanuel Petit has also floated the idea, saying Ronaldo has the aura to mix with Hollywood A-listers and might even eye the Oscars one day. He praised the forward's social media reach and remarkable mental strength.
