The masses were on high alert on Wednesday after Cristiano Ronaldo announced via his social media accounts that he had "exciting news" to share with the world.
Well wait no more, planet earth:
I’m happy to confirm that there’s a film being produced about me. Stay tuned for more info at @RonaldoFilm pic.twitter.com/wi7oa0p6Z9

That's right, the larger-than-life superstar soccer hero who lives a movie-like life will indeed have a movie made about his life.
Many well-intentioned, and somewhat misguided, fans around the world -- and especially in England -- were hoping that the news might have something to do with a transfer away from Real Madrid and possibly even a return to Manchester United, the club that put him on the world stage.
But alas, the news was not that. No word on whether or not Ronaldo will be performing his own diving stunts in the movie.
