00:00 Not content with merely winning the World Cup or getting a big money move to MLS,
00:03 Lionel Messi is making his first moves into the world of acting. He recently made his
00:08 television debut with an appearance on Argentine drama comedy Los Protectores,
00:13 or The Protectors as it translates to in English. The show follows the journey of three football
00:17 agents trying to dodge bankruptcy and rebuild their careers in what is, you can imagine,
00:21 a pretty crazy industry. Messi's role in the show is, unsurprisingly, of playing himself
00:26 and meeting with the three agents to discuss a fairly ludicrous business deal.
00:29 They propose he plays one game for every team in Argentina in alphabetical order. He's not
00:35 exactly thrilled about this, calls them uneducated and asks why the hell they even brought him here,
00:40 before everything then gets smoothed over and they celebrate not actually doing anything together
00:44 with a glass of whatever this is. It's not likely to add an Oscar to his
00:48 trophy collection anytime soon, but hey, it's a start.
