Lionel Messi makes his ACTING debut in Argentine TV show 'Los Protectores' as the Inter Miami star leaves viewers impressed with shock appearance
The 36-year-old confirmed his move to Inter Miami earlier this month, but is now making more headlines after his memorable appearance in the show.
Los Protectores follows the journey of three football agents trying to escape bankruptcy and build their careers in a challenging industry
In the scene, one of the agents proposes a ludicrous business deal to Messi which would see him play for different Argentinian football clubs each day in alphabetical order, potentially expanding to the rest of the world.
Messi, who is playing himself in the show, thought he was attending the meeting to discuss a different project.
The show is available to watch on Star+ and Messi's cameo is in the second season.
It remains to be seen whether he will act again in future, but for now, he has a different assignment on his hands as he is tasked with helping David Beckham's Inter Miami off the foot of the MLS' Eastern Conference.
