The world football star continues to amaze his fans. After the news of his transfer from the French club Paris Saint-Germain to the American Football League team Inter Miami, owned by David Beckham, the athlete decided to test himself in a new role.
So Messi starred in an episode of the second season of the popular Argentine TV series “The Defenders” about unsuccessful football agents on the verge of bankruptcy. The Argentine appears in a cameo role. To do this, he did not need to transform into some other hero, because he played himself.

Actor Andres Parra, who played one of the main roles in the series, shared his impressions of working on the set with a football player. He told Sport Bible that the team was impressed not only by Messi’s human qualities, but also by his “acting skills.” The episode with the famous football player was released on the Star+ streaming service on June 25
It is known that Messi will receive 50 million euros a year for playing in the American Inter. He will also be able to participate in other commercial projects, such as with Apple and Adidas, to increase his income.
Messi also recently signed an unusual contract with the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Tourism. So the football player can earn about $25 million in three years. He just needs to come to the country on vacation with his family and share his photos on social networks and tag them with a hashtag approved by the ministry.
