Paul Pogba is currently serving a four-year ban from football after failing a doping test and the former Manchester United midfielder has now turned his hand to acting.
The Italian Anti-Doping Committee sentenced midfielder Paul Pogba to a 4-year ban from February this year. The French star was found positive for a banned substance after a match for Juventus last August.
Pogba appealed the ban at the Court of Arbitration for Sport and insisted he did not intentionally use the banned substance. However, while waiting for the appeal to be considered, Pogba entered the acting profession.
According to reputable source Le Parisien, Pogba was spotted filming scenes for a French movie called ‘4 Zéros’ in Paris this week. This is considered the sequel to ‘3 Zeros’ to be shown in 2022, expected to be released to the public in April 2025.
In this movie, Pogba plays the role of a youth football coach. According to Le Parisien, Pogba surprised everyone at the film crew with his acting talent. Although he is a great talent in world football, Pogba shows that he is also talented in cinema.
If the appeal attempt is unsuccessful, Pogba will not be allowed to play until 2027, when he will be 34 years old. It can be said that the former Man Utd star’s career in digital shorts seems to have ended early.
Pogba returns to Juventus in 2022 on a free transfer from MU. During his first season in Turin, Pogba almost only made friends with the hospital bed. But when he was about to return to full strength, the 2018 World Cup champion was exposed to a banned substance during an unexpected doping test.
