Cristiano Ronaldo: The Joker Countdown Begins — Hollywood Might Be Next
24 January 2026
Ronaldo and the Hollywood Buzz
Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo is nearing the end of his pro football career, with clear interest in avenues beyond the pitch such as investments, media work, and the arts.
Batman Talk: The Joker Speculation
A former teammate, Italian Giuseppe Rossi, says Ronaldo could try a Hollywood acting stint, appearing in a Batman film, specifically in the role of the Joker.
He has a strong personality and presence that could attract attention, giving him a chance to succeed in roles dependent on charisma and mental strength.
Outlook and Focus
French former star Emmanuel Petit noted Ronaldo's human and professional qualities could make him stand out off the pitch, suggesting his rich sporting career may become material for future artistic works. However, Ronaldo continues his football journey with Al-Nassr until 2027, regularly competing in domestic and continental competitions, with personal aims of playing in the 2026 World Cup and reaching 1000 career goals.
Punchline: Ronaldo in Joker mode? Gotham City might finally see a penalty kick that's not against him.
Punchline 2: Can Batman defend a Ronaldo free-kick? Time will tell.
