Barcelona forward Neymar is to star on the big screen later this year alongside Vin Diesel and Samuel L Jackson in the latest instalment of the xXx movie series.
The 24-year-old swapped the football field for a go at acting, with co-star Diesel describing him as a "natural" in front of the camera.
Neymar's role in the movie, titled xXx: The Return of Xander Cage, is thought to be the Brazilian's first foray into the world of acting.
Neymar also enjoyed a kickabout with global popstar Justin Bieber during his time Stateside, before participating in a New York Mets baseball event.
