Footballing star Lionel Messi will be hoping to impress fans when he makes an appearance in the second season of the Argentinian TV series, Los Protectores.

Messi is one of the most iconic stars of the game, having reached legendary status for both Barcelona and PSG, as well as being the undoubted star of the Argentinian national team.

However, he's looking to try out something new as he is set to feature in his first-ever acting role. 

From various food commercials, to Pepsi spots, or the recent Lay's potato ad campaign. And of course, everything that has to do with Adidas, his biggest sponsor.

The scene in which Messi will appear has already been shot

However, the soccer player has now been cast in a project that is very different from what we are used to seeing him in. He has now had a role in a television series.

Messi will make a cameo appearance in the second season of the Argentine drama 'Los Protectores,' which is gaining popularity in his homeland.

His scene has already been shot, and he completed it just a few days ago. We know this because the images of the footballer on set were shared by the producer himself.

We won't be able to see the scene until 2023

The second season of 'Los Protectores' was shot in a variety of locations, including Buenos Aires, but Messi recorded it in Paris, his home since signing with PSG last summer. We'll have to wait until 2023 to see Leo Messi's interpretation, when the second installment of this Argentine series is released.
