The players who starred in the film Bashny.Net

Today, the British portal The Sun has published information on the possible involvement of David Beckham in a new film project Matthew Vaughn - comic book movie "The Secret Service» (The Secret Service).




Excellent turn villain!



It is worth noting that Hollywood is waiting for a spectacular player with open arms - when David announced the completion of a football career, he was literally bombarded with suggestions and scenarios. The Secret Service Beckham invited Colin Firth is also involved in the film. Apart from him there will play Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Caine, Elton John, and the main role may get Leonardo DiCaprio. Beckham has not yet given an official response, but director Matthew Vaughn enthusiastic about the idea to invite Beckham the role of villain. According to the director, the film with David want to see everything. And it's true - after Becks equally interesting both for male and for the female audience!

This is not the first time that players begin an acting career. Some of it still remains a small episode in the biography, but there are those who find themselves on the silver screen no less successful than on the field.

Zinedine Zidane

A small but memorable role of Zinedine Zidane in the comedy "Asterix at the Olympic Games" was a funny episode in the biography of an athlete, but did not grow properly - it is better to be the one of whom make films than to those who are released. And it is better to remain legendary football player, you become a mediocre actor. Although, even if Zinedine star in bad films 100 (which, fortunately, he was not going to do), it would still be the best player of the past 20 years. His place in the history of Zizou has already taken.



Pele

Another legendary footballer, but a completely different role. This is one of the first in world cinema where professional footballers in films. The film "Escape to Victory" (1981) is based on real events of the Second World War. In the story, in a concentration camp was organized by the match between a team of British and American prisoners of war and the military units of the German national team. The prisoners were planning an escape during the halftime break, but they decided to continue the match to defeat the Nazis on the ... After the premiere, critics say that only feints Pele and helped it avoid the evaluation of the film "zero". Pele has repeatedly received offers of filming in the movie, but the King of Football was able to draw the right conclusions from the first experience. In his own words, he realized that he had better not do this.



Eric Cantona

Diametrically opposite situation from Eric Cantona - is, not everyone knows that the actor was a football player !!! And not just a football player and a legend - the captain of the French team, and striker of English club "Manchester United", which won four titles of the Premier League. During his career, Cantona scored 433 goals, entered the list of 100 of FIFA and English Football Hall of Fame. Fans of Manchester United is still called him "King Eric", and in France in the stadium named after him, where trains "Olympic" and the French team.

The tendency to "show" from the cantons was noticeable from the beginning of soccer career - scandalous antics, conflicts with management, red cards fell on Eric rain, and his legendary "kick kung fu," the truth is not the goal, and for the fans, remembers all football fans.

Stormy temperament Eric and his colorful "mafia" appearance led Canton in cinema. 14 films in which Eric Cantona plays himself, including those nominated for the Palme d'Or at Cannes film "Looking for Eric" - is only a small part of his actor's filmography. In addition, there are 21 film, which Cantona shows the gift of reincarnation. From the most zamentnyh - costume drama "Elizabeth" with Cate Blanchett, and the French TV series "Glutton," in which Cantona plays a major role - a 160-pound police detective.





Vinnie Jones

If Canton is my first player, and then an actor, my favorite Vinnie Jones is uniquely - an actor! Although during his football career, he was also very popular, playing for Leeds, Wimbledon, Chelsea and the national team of Wales. Like Cantona, I remembered outrageous antics, and once even received a yellow card after 3 seconds after entering the field.

And yet this "bad boy" was born for the movie! Even though the characteristic appearance thugs makes him an actor extremely narrow role, his every appearance on the screen - this is a shot right on target! And most importantly - it does not even need to do anything for this - it is a rare case when enough "just be." But, in addition to appearance, Jones is present and acting gift - even in humorous roles convincing, and "to give the drama" is quite capable. Already his first role in the cult film Guy Ritchie's "Lock, Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels" causes me, critics and audiences a complete delight. His Big Chris knocked out the debts of a couple with their miniature copy of Little Chris - is one of the best moments of the film. And this despite the fact that the message of the film - in itself a great "best moment»!

Next was "Snatch," "Gone in 60 Seconds," "X-Men: The Last Stand" ... I can not write about the roles of Winnie for a long time - at this point in his account already 59 films, plus another 18 (!) At the stage of shooting and post-production. So the roles of a former football player for a long time provided in advance.
