Ronaldo Makes An Odd Career Choice at 40

Cristiano Ronaldo could appear in the Fast & Furious film franchise after Hollywood star Vin Diesel hinted at a possible role for the Portuguese football star.

The F&F star shared a photo on Instagram with CR7, sparking speculation about the footballer’s involvement in the action film series.

Diesel, whose real name is Mark Sinclair Vincent, wrote in the caption,

Everyone asked, would he be in the Fast mythology… I gotta tell you he is a real one. We wrote a role for him…

The post quickly gained attention online, with fans expressing excitement at the possibility of seeing the five-time Ballon d’Or winner in the popular franchise.

Social media users reacted enthusiastically. One fan commented, “Fast X Part 2: Ronaldo and Dom,” while another joked, “Cristiano in Fast X before GTA 6 is unbelievable.”

The next film in the franchise will be Fast & Furious 11, reportedly titled Fast Forever. The movie is expected to be the final installment of the long-running series, which began in 2001.

Despite recent delays, the film is believed to be targeting a 2026 release, leaving limited time for Ronaldo to join the cast.

At age 40, the Al-Nassr striker has been expanding his business interests in preparation for life after football.

Entering the acting industry would not be unexpected, especially after Ronaldo announced the launch of his own film studio, UR.MARV, alongside director and producer Vaughn, in April 2025.
