Dimitar Berbatov has somewhat emulated the journey of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson by swapping the life of a sportsman for the glitz and glamour of acting.

And he's absolutely nailed it.

The former Manchester United and Tottenham striker will appear in the Bulgarian film Revolution X: The Movie, which will be released on May 11.

He will presumably embark on a career in the film industry after an incredible bit-part role in the trailer above.

The 37-year-old was absolutely made for this role, but he's never played down his love for film in the past - so don't be too surprised about his acting efforts.

Berbatov famously learnt English from watching the iconic movie 'The Godfather' and last year, he recreated a scene that received plenty of plaudits.

Move over Marlon Brando, you've been replaced by another absolute badass.

Away from the big screen, Berbatov is playing in midfield nowadays and he reminds us of a Zinedine Zidane and Paul Scholes hybrid.

The former Manchester United striker now plays his football in the Indian Super League with Kerala Blasters FC after a year without a club.

Berbatov has started well since moving in August and during a game at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata earlier this year, the veteran produced a sublime performance against ATK.

The club even posted his individual highlights on their Twitter. Sit back, relax and watch the master at work:

Is this the most chilled out, effortless performance you've ever seen or what?

Dimitar makes it look way too easy, both on the field and off it.
