When they’re not on the court trying to score goals, make baskets or shave off a few milliseconds to set new records in various track and field events, certain athletes can be found on the big screen.
A few days ago, we offered you a quiz about the various film adaptations of the hero Asterix. And the last question suggested the image of the most famous French athlete, close to divine status, in the person of Zinedine Zidane. The question was to know in which of the five films the world champion footballer was able to appear in. If you think you have the answer, don’t hesitate to take a look at this little cage hero quiz!
Another French footballer, beyond a simple guest role, had a real acting career after hanging up his boots. Indeed, Eric Cantona had the opportunity to act in about twenty feature films, some of which were made by famous filmmakers. We could see the former Mancunian in Le Bonheur est dans le pré with Étienne Chatille, Les Enfants du Marais with Jean Becker, but also played his own role internationally under Ken Loach’s Search for Eric.
We can also cite Nicola Anelka’s appearance in Le Boulet by Alain Berbebrian and Frédéric Forestier, Yannick Noah as a village chief in Safari with Olivier Barroux’s Cad Merad, or even ex-Stephanois Dominique Rocheteau, who had the opportunity to share the poster. in Gerard Depardieu’s Le Garcu.
However, in this quiz you won’t find French athletes, but nine international athletes who have appeared in movies.
