Arsenal’s Podolski To Star In Comedy Movie

Arsenal’s Lukas Podolski is set to hit the big screen
and star in a German comedy film.
The 29-year-old has been used sparingly by
Arsene Wenger this term, leading to talk his spell in
north London could be coming to an end.
And as the doubts over his future continue, Podolski
has taken time out to return to the stadium of
former club Koln (Cologne), to shoot some scenes
for ‘Macho Man’.
He said: “The film will be shot in my hometown
Cologne, where I grew up and where my career
started.
“My scene takes place in the stadium and it’s really
funny, I think. I am curious to see the result when I
go to the premiere and see myself on the screen.”
Macho Man is adapted from a novel by Moritz
Netanjakob, following insecure Daniel Hagenberger
as he embarks on a relationship with Aylin
Denizoglu.
The film, where Podolski will play himself, is set for
release in October 2015.
Podolski isn’t the only footballer with an acting
interest – Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge
admitted he would love to try his hand , once his
playing days are over.
