London: Football star Cristiano Ronaldo is set to make his scripted acting debut in the upcoming drama series "Day 1s", where he will serve as both an executive producer and actor alongside former France international Thierry Henry.

The series explores the high-pressure world of British football through the story of a fictional elite sports agency, focusing on the business, power struggles and personal relationships behind the game.

Directed by Matthew Vaughn, the project is being produced by UR•Marv, the independent media company launched by Ronaldo and Vaughn in 2025. Actor Damian Lewis will play the lead role of sports agent Stanley Dalton, while British rapper Dave and several football personalities are also expected to appear.

The concept was co-created by football agent Darren Dein, who also serves as an executive producer. Henry has been filming scenes in London as production gets underway.

Ronaldo has previously appeared in documentaries and television projects, but "Day 1s" marks his first scripted acting role, expanding his growing presence in the entertainment industry beyond football.
