Fans are going crazy on social media since what seemed like a movie promotion video for the blockbuster movie ‘Bad Boys’ featuring an appearance by Argentine football legend, Lionel Messi speaking English was released.
Speaking English, Lionel Messi has demonstrated his acting abilities by appearing alongside Will Smith in a ‘Bad Boys’ promo.
A massive marketing campaign is underway in anticipation of the release of “Ride or Die,” the fourth part of the “Bad Boys” film franchise, which is set to open in theatres worldwide.
To create pre-release buzz, Will Smith and co-star Martin Lawrence have enlisted the help of Miami’s best sportsmen for the promotion materials.
The most recent teaser video features NBA player Jimmy Butler, who has become a powerful weapon for the Miami Heat in Florida. Butler looks to join the Bad Boy club, but he ultimately has to return to the basketball court after failing an initiation process.
Lionel Messi is included in that process as well, but after showing up at Will Smith and Martin Lawrence’s residence and making an absurd attempt at speaking English, the Argentine legend is ridiculed.
Smith and Lawrence slams the door in the face of the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner, who is thrown back because of his size and told to try a another location.
Since the video release, fans have been thrown into excitement following the spanish-speaking football legend’s attempt at speaking English in public for the first time.
