5 actors who could play Lionel Messi

#4 Eric Bana

This choice might surprise a lot of people, but for some reason, it feels like he could be a good pick. The former ‘Hulk’ star jawline is quite similar to that of the Argentine and that alone puts him on this list.

In terms of acting, Bana has a good rapport with serious roles. His impersonation of Hector in the movie ‘Troy’ showed us that he is capable of playing the role of the former Newell’s child given that the latter is quite serious a footballer himself.

However, the one thing that could go against Bana, and also Bale for that matter, is that he is perhaps too tall to play the 5’7” Lionel Messi.
