Barcelona star Neymar has swapped the football pitch for the bright lights of Hollywood, a move his critics would say is not totally unexpected given his theatrics on the pitch.
It has been confirmed that the 24-year-old Brazilian will appear in xXx: The Return of Xander Cage , which is set to be released in January 2017.
Actor Vin Diesel, who plays Xander Cage, announced on Instagram that Neymar had completed his first day of filming.
Neymar also appeared in a live broadcast on Vin Diesel’s official Facebook page.
The third installment of xXx is also set to star Samuel L. Jackson and Ruby Rose.
Neymar has been left out of Brazils’s Copa America campaign this month, although he will represent his nation at this summer’s Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro where they seek a maiden gold medal.
