5 actors who could play Lionel Messi

#1 Lionel Messi himself

Messi can do what Sachin is doing and act as himself in his own movie

And at the end of the day, who can play the role of you better than you yourself? Did I sound like a washed-up wannabe philosopher? I might have, but the point is, sports stars get good at acting as their career progresses.

How? Advertisements. Sportspersons star in a lot of advertisement that hone their acting skills gradually. It is for this very reason that Sachin Tendulkar is playing himself in a movie about himself. So why not Lionel Messi?

After years of acting in commercials, it could be said that with a little more prepping, Messi can do what Sachin is doing and act as himself in his own movie. If that happens, the world will probably explode and turn into a blackhole.
