Cristiano Ronaldo moves into acting with football TV series 'Day Ones'

Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is set to step into acting after football. Together with British filmmaker Matthew Vaughn, he is bringing a new TV series called 'Day Ones' under the banner of 'UR Marv Studios'.

Ronaldo will act in the series and will also serve as an executive producer.

The series is centred on the behind-the-scenes story of British football, the transfer market trade and the competitive world of players' agents.

Popular British actor Damian Lewis will play the lead character, a British agent named 'Stanley Dalton'.

French football legend Thierry Henry is also part of the series. British rapper Santan Dave is likewise involved in the project.

Confirming recently on his social media that shooting had begun, Ronaldo wrote: 'Great news! Production has just started on my first TV show, Day Ones. Much more to come!'

The dressing room of English Premier League club Brentford has been used as an initial set for the shooting.
