Cristiano Ronaldo could be set for a surprise move from the football pitch to the world of high-octane action movies, after Vin Diesel revealed that a role has been written specifically for the global football star in an upcoming Fast & Furious film.
Diesel sparked widespread excitement after sharing a photo with Ronaldo on Instagram, hinting that the Portuguese icon may feature in the franchise’s final chapter. Although no official casting confirmation has been announced, the post quickly went viral, with fans across sports and entertainment speculating about Ronaldo’s possible big-screen debut in the action series.
The actor made the revelation following a meeting with Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia, where he attended a match involving Al Nassr. In his Instagram post, Diesel praised the footballer as “a real one” and suggested that a role had already been crafted for him. The caption was later edited, further fuelling speculation that the appearance could be tied to Fast and Furious 11, which is expected to conclude the main saga.
Their encounter immediately became a talking point online, especially as this is not the first time Ronaldo has been linked with acting. Diesel had previously hinted years ago that a role was written for him, though it never materialised. This time, however, the timing has drawn more attention, with the franchise approaching its final instalment.
Social media reactions poured in almost instantly. Fans joked about seeing Ronaldo join the Fast & Furious universe before the release of other highly anticipated projects, while others imagined him celebrating a street-race victory in his trademark style. Despite some scepticism, the overall response has been largely positive, with many welcoming the idea as an entertaining crossover between football and film.
