JAKARTA - Cristiano Ronaldo may often receive criticism when he plays on the grass. But who would have thought, the Juventus star really wanted to try acting.

The 34-year-old was labeled a 'diver' when he first joined Manchester United. But when he played with Real Madrid and achieved everything, CR7 made a history of its own.

Now with Juventus, Ronaldo shows no signs of slowing down. He continues to score goals and is still acting at times. Even so he admits he will retire when he can't do what he wants.

When that day comes, the Portugal captain will try to fulfill his dream of making it big in Hollywood. This was expressed by the superstar at the Dubai International Sports Conference.

"A few years ago, the age playing football was 30 to 32, but now you find those who are 40 years old playing on the field," Ronaldo said, launching Soccerway, Sunday, December 29.

"When my body is no longer responding in the right way on the pitch, then it is time to go," Ronaldo continued.

The winner of five Ballon d'Or's intends to continue learning new things after retiring from football. One of the things he tries to challenge himself is acting in films.

"I hope I have lived more than 50 years to learn new things and face different challenges and try to find solutions to them," he explained.

Ronaldo has won the Champions League with United and Real Madrid, and league titles in England, Spain and Italy. At international level, the former Sporting CP forward won the European Cup with Portugal in 2016 and winner of the Nations League this year. He believes that such sustainable success depends on his will.

"The love of football is the main motive in achieving all the titles I have won," he added.

"There is no magic or special secret in my success story, or any other success story. Rather, it is a great dedication to what you do.

"At 34, I still have that fitness through persistence and hard work to earn a title."
