CRISTIANO RONALDO has been tipped for a role in a huge film franchise when he decides to quit football.
The 40-year-old’s long-term future is unclear after entering the final 18 months of his mega-money contract at Al-Nassr.
Ronaldo has already declared that this summer’s World Cup will be his final one with Portugal.
And the ace is now fixated on scoring 1,000 career goals before assessing his next steps.
Should he decide to quit football in the next few years, the world will surely be his oyster.
And Ronaldo has now been tipped for a future in movies.

Fellow former Man United striker Dwight Yorke reckons Hollywood execs should be falling over themselves to get CR7 in a major production.
He reckons the veteran can bring some much-needed shine to the big screen.
But Yorke reckons there’s one franchise Ronaldo will suit perfectly.
It was recently revealed he will play a small part in the latest ‘Fast and Furious’ movie after star actor Vin Diesel squeezed in a cameo role for him.

The fast-paced flicks are in keeping with Ronaldo’s flamboyant style of play.
And Yorke reckons he can become the latest figure from a non-movie background to make it big in the cinema.
Yorke told PokerScout: “I think that given what Ronaldo has done in the game, similar to Lionel Messi, why would filmmakers not want to engage with someone with his profile and as good-looking as he is, he’s got everything going for him.
“Why not entice him? You’ve seen all these singers and rappers get into acting, so why can’t we from sport have people like Ronaldo in that circle?
“It would be good to see him in one of these major films like Fast and Furious. It brings excitement. He is the most followed person on social media.
“As a producer, why would you not engage in something like that? To me it’s a no-brainer.”
