Real Madrid football star Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly signed up to star with Angelina Jolie in a TV drama about Syrian refugees.
The footballer was named by the Turkish program's director as one of the high-profile cast members he had secured to start filming Hayat Koprusu in April.
"We will begin filming in the first week of April, the series is about the plight of a refugee family and what they go through," director Eyup Dirlik said.
"There will be appearances from actors and actresses from all over the world including Cristiano Ronaldo, Angelina Jolie and (Arabic music star) Nancy Ajram."
Hayat Koprusu will centre on a Syrian family fleeing the civil war for Turkey and will film in Gaziantep, in the Anatolia region of Turkey near the Syrian border.
Ronaldo has made no secret of his ambition to break into acting.
"Why not? It is not my objective at the moment, but I have had some invitations," Ronaldo said in 2016.
Ronaldo has also spoken and tweeted before about his support for Syrian refugees.
