He's already well-versed in the art of making a television commercial, so a role on the big screen is naturally the next step for David Beckham.
The England captain has signed up to appear in a Hollywood trilogy about the beautiful game.
The $100m (€77.4m) series called Goal! Will be the first big screen role for the Real Madrid midfielder.
The appearance in Goal! Could be the breakthrough Beckham wants in Tinseltown.
He and wife Victoria are rumoured to be planning to up sticks again and try their luck in Los Angeles.
Becks is thought to have just a small role in the trilogy, about a player from the South American community in Los Angeles who signs for Newcastle United.
He said: "It's no secret that I want to be involved in youth coaching when I finally hang up my boots, and I believe that the Goal! trilogy will provide a positive message to kids around the world."
