Speaking to Sky Italia, he revealed that:
"People sometimes speak about age – sometimes I do not agree because you have younger players who always have injuries or do not take of their body. I am focused right now because my football career will finish one day – we all have to retire one day. I know that day will come. But right now, I am enjoying the moment. When I am retired, I think I will have a good life. I don't say that because of money."A lot of footballers go into punditry and media work in their retirement, but the Portuguese sees himself on screen in a different capacity after retiring from football:
"I want to try other things; for example, to do movies."This isn't an ambition he has dreamed up overnight either. Ronaldo has been planning his future in great detail for a long time, he explained:
"I started to plan my future when I was 27, 28 – a long time ago, I began preparing. I have a good team, who work in my company, who start to build good things going forward. In football, I am very calm because I know they depend on me."Other footballers to make the jump to acting include Vinnie Jones and Eric Cantona, both of whom possess a bit more charisma than Cristiano, who isn't exactly camera shy but his talent definitely lies more in his feet than his acting. But he clearly fancies himself as a Hollywood star, as he showed in this Freaky Friday inspired Nike advert, 'The Switch' as well as starring in his biopic, 'Ronaldo', released in 2015.
