10 Weirdest Footballer Cameos In Movies
10. Frank Leboeuf - The Theory Of Everything
Previously just regarded as "A Doctor Who Looks Weirdly Like Former Chelsea Defender Frank Leboeuf", it transpires that the doctor asking if they should take Stephen Hawking off the life-support machine is... honestly... former Chelsea defender Frank Leboeuf.
This confounded UK audiences (and entirely passed everyone in the States by) but French viewers of the movie were likely already aware of Lebeouf's latter-day career as, of all things, a critically acclaimed actor. Following his retirement, he quietly moved to Los Angeles, began studying at an acting school, and successfully made the transition to film, television, and the stage.
He could have quietly collected good money rolling his eyes at the French national team as a pundit, enjoyed a tumultuous 18 months as Marseille manager but, no, the man's heart lay in acting and he followed that across the Atlantic and into the Oscar-winning Theory of Everything. He currently stars in French crime drama, Magellan.
