VIDEOS: Cristiano Ronaldo joins Israeli team in whacky new commercial

He's miles better than Jose...

JOE

Cristiano Ronaldo and Jose Mourinho might be experts in their fields – but acting isn’t for everyone.

Well, with a bit of polishing, Ronnie could probably do something.

The Real Madrid legend was brought in for a commercial with Israeli telecommunication company HOT, playing the role of a superstar footballer bossing the dressing room. Fortunately, he’s a method actor.

It wasn’t absolutely I-want-to-be-sick horrendous and it was certainly better than Jose Mourinho’s stiff camera appearance.

The old Chelsea boss talks about the importance of training for a new app that he allegedly “helped create”.

If Ronaldo is Bill Murray in Lost in Translation, Jose is Rocky Balboa trying to leave boxing behind him and start a career in front of the camera.
