Transcript
00:00 Not content with merely winning the World Cup or getting a big-money move to MLS, Lionel
00:04 Messi is making his first moves into the world of acting.
00:08 He recently made his television debut with an appearance on Argentine drama comedy Los
00:12 Protectores, or The Protectors as it translates to in English.
00:15 The show follows the journey of three football agents trying to dodge bankruptcy and rebuild
00:19 their careers in what is, you can imagine, a pretty crazy industry.
00:23 Messi's role in the show is, unsurprisingly, of playing himself and meeting with the three
00:27 agents to discuss a fairly ludicrous business deal.
00:30 They propose he plays one game for every team in Argentina, in alphabetical order.
00:35 He's not exactly thrilled about this, calls them uneducated and asks why the hell they
00:39 even brought him here.
00:40 Before everything then gets smoothed over and they celebrate not actually doing anything
00:44 together with a glass of whatever this is.
00:46 It's not likely to add an Oscar to his trophy collection anytime soon, but hey, it's a
00:50 start.
