Since retiring from football at the end of 2014, Thierry Henry has had some spare time on his hands and is now set to appear in the new Entourage movie.

It seems that somewhere between retiring from football and taking up a career as a Sky Sports pundit, Henry has found himself in a real life movie, set to be released in the UK this month.

Filmed last year, the film is based off the TV series, which aired its final episode in 2011, and sees Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier) make his directorial debut. The project him and his friends, Eric (Kevin Connolly), Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) and Johnny (Kevin Dillon) then embark on sees them meet the likes of Jessica Alba, Liam Neeson and Mark Wahlberg.

Thierry Henry is also among the star-studded cast, presumably playing himself.

Although the Frenchman is no stranger to the camera after appearing in adverts, on talk shows and the like, this is more or less his first real acting debut. It’ll be interesting to see if this is yet another string to his ever growing bow.

Below is the trailer. However, Piers Morgan does also appear in this so viewer discretion is advised.
