Just three months following his four-year ban from football due to a failed drugs test, the former Manchester United star is starting a surprising new chapter in France. The French World Cup winner, currently serving his ban imposed in February after testing positive for DHEA following Juventus’ match against Udinese, maintains his innocence, stating he never knowingly or intentionally violated anti-doping regulations and plans to appeal the decision.
Despite his absence from the pitch, Pogba seems to be keeping himself occupied. Reports from French outlet Le Parisien indicate that he is poised to make his debut in French cinema with a role in a film slated for release in 2025. Pogba will portray a youth team football coach in the movie ‘4 Zeros’, a sequel to the popular French film ‘3 Zeroes’ released in 2002.
According to the report, the French midfielder showcased ease and comfort in front of the camera, impressing the crew with his natural demeanor and affability. Pogba evidently enjoyed the experience, relishing the opportunity to delve into acting.
The movie follows the story of a young aspiring footballer from the African country of Comoros, harboring dreams of becoming a Paris Saint-Germain star. As a scout searches for the next Kylian Mbappe, the film delves into themes of ambition and discovery within the realm of football.
