Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a football legend whose talents extend beyond the field. The Swedish striker, who is currently signed to AC Milan, is in his 24th season and is rumored to be retiring in the summer. However, if the 41-year-old decides to pursue a career change, he could easily transition into the movie industry.
Recently, Ibrahimovic posted a video online showcasing his impressive stunt work. In the clip, he fends off attackers with a shield and sword, using Kung fu strikes and swordsmanship to defeat them. ESPN captioned the video, “Zlatan Ibrahimovic is ready to star in an action movie.”
Ibrahimovic is a known martial arts enthusiast and holds a black belt in taekwondo. He is also set to make his movie debut this year with a cameo role in the upcoming French film Asterix & Obelix: The Middle Kingdom.
The forward rejoined Milan in 2020 from LA Galaxy and helped them win Serie A last year. However, this season he has only managed four appearances due to a series of injuries, scoring only one goal from the penalty spot against Udinese. This goal broke a record, making Ibrahimovic the oldest scorer ever in Serie A at the age of 41 years and 166 days, beating Alessandro Costacurta’s previous record of 41 years and 25 days.
Ibrahimovic’s skills on and off the field have made him a beloved figure in the world of football. His talent and versatility have earned him numerous accolades throughout his career, including being named Sweden’s best player eleven times and winning the Golden Foot award in 2012.
Despite his success, Ibrahimovic has faced criticism for his controversial behavior both on and off the field. He has been involved in several high-profile incidents, including a physical altercation with former teammate Oguchi Onyewu during his time at AC Milan and a racial slur directed towards a French referee in 2018.
Despite these controversies, Ibrahimovic remains a fan favorite and continues to inspire young players around the world. His dedication to his craft and his ability to transcend the sport have made him a true icon of the game. Whether he decides to retire or pursue a career in the movie industry, Ibrahimovic’s legacy is sure to endure for years to come.
