Lights, camera and Dale Steyn in action! Pacer in Hollywood film with Adam Sandler

South Africa speedster Dale Steyn has made his debut! In Hollywood, that is.

Steyn recently shot a scene for a movie titled Family Moon, starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, in Los Angeles. The movie is reportedly about a couple forced to live together after a blind date, with their respective children from previous marriages.

Acting came naturally to the pace bowler as he was playing the role of a cricketer - a part he has excelled in, in real life. With 432 international wickets, Steyn has been a formidable force in international cricket but a recent injury during Champions Trophy forced him to stay off the pitch. His agent was quoted as saying that the 30-year-old opted to make the most of his time off the field by being in front of the camera.

His role? "I have to pitch/bowl to Drew's son, whom Adam is coaching," Steyn was quoted as saying. "The whole thing was amazing. Adam was great. He really made me feel welcome. They all did. The team at Warner Brothers and Happy Madison Productions were so friendly and professional."

The bowler even posted pictures of himself with the cast of the film, which included NBA star Shaq O'Neil. "It was also great meeting people like Drew Barrymore and Shaq O'Neil. Shaq is huge. I come up to his shoulder," he said.

Steyn missed South Africa's recent tour to Sri Lanka but is expected to play against Pakistan in October, in UAE. As for the film, details about the release are still awaited.
