Neymar to Share Screen Space in Deepika Padukone's Hollywood Film

Neymar is kicking off his acting career in Deepika Padukone's Hollywood movie, xXx: The Return Of Xander Cage. The Brazilian and FC Barcelona striker was in the United States last week to face the camera.

Neymar, who is not assisting Brazil in the Copa America, was seen at the Paramount Studios apparently to shoot a cameo role in the Vin Diesel starrer. Deepika is making her Hollywood debut in this movie.

Vin Diesel called Neymar a "natural" actor. The movie is expected to be released in January 2017.
