- Cristiano Ronaldo says he will quit football when his body betrays him
- The Juventus star also believes he can take up challenges in acting after football
- With five Ballon d'Or gongs, the Portuguese is considered one of the biggest names in football
Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo has hinted at giving acting a stab once he hangs his football boots.
The Portuguese star is regarded one of the biggest names to ever play football having experienced a stellar rise from a young prospect in Lisbon to a global mega star.
Ronaldo started his career in his home country Portugal before sealing a move to Manchester United where he gained prominence that now cements him as football posterboy.
With successful stints spanning two decades across European top flights including Real Madrid, the Juve star has won five Ballon d'Or gongs among his numerous individual honours.
The 34-year-old has also won a host of major trophies, including five European Cups and six league titles, while also landing a European Championships winners' medal with Portugal in 2018.
Ronaldo has now given hints on the possibility of dropping the curtain on his glittering career, but insisted that would happen only when his body can no longer "respond in the right way."
"My success in my field is the result of hard work, and a way of living. I work continuously to improve my mental and physical abilities. I aspire to continue my studies after retiring from football," he said.
"I hope I live more than 50 years to learn new things and face different challenges and try to find solutions for them. One of the things that I seek to challenge myself in, for example, is acting in a movie," the Portuguese star further explained.
