Lionel Messi has tested his acting skills and spoken English in a promotional video for the upcoming film “Bad Boys 4: Ride or Die,” alongside Will Smith.
As the fourth installment of the Bad Boys franchise prepares to hit cinemas worldwide, the promotional campaign is in full swing.
Will Smith and co-star Martin Lawrence have enlisted help from Miami’s finest to generate excitement for the release.
NBA superstar Jimmy Butler, a key figure for the Miami Heat, features prominently in the latest teaser video.
In the clip, Butler attempts to join the Bad Boys but ends up returning to the basketball court after failing an initiation.
Messi also appears in the promo, humorously joining the initiation process.
The Argentine star makes a rare attempt at speaking English, only to be hilariously rejected by Smith and Lawrence.
When Messi shows up at their house, he is turned away due to his size and directed to try a different address as the door is slammed in his face.
Despite not fitting the role of a Miami cop, Messi continues to shine in his primary career.
He has been a standout performer in Major League Soccer (MLS) this season, generating MVP buzz.
Messi is expected to return to action on Wednesday after being rested for a long trip to Vancouver.
