Wayne Rooney has the talent for acting, says Mexican director

When Wayne Rooney bids adieu to soccer, he is most likely to be a Hollywood leading man, says Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu.

The Mexican directed 'Nike's Write The Future' ad for 2010 World Cup in which striker Rooney acted several roles, including a bearded tramp.

"Wayne Rooney was super-comfortable with the camera. I said to him, 'I will offer you a role once you are a little older and you are done with football'. He will have a good Hollywood career, I'm sure," the Sun quoted him as saying.

"Wayne is a natural. He's from the streets and has a warrior appeal that could serve him well in movies," he added. -ANI-
