From 'Cholo' Hugo Sotil, to Paolo Guerrero and 'Los Jotitas', national players have been seduced by the seventh art with great success and made plenty of money.
Jefferson Farfán rocked the football scene by denouncing that he was
scammed for 1.7 million soles by the company that distributed his movie
'La Foquita: El 10 de la calle'. In recent years, it has become common for players to make their own films to tell their life stories. In Peru, Paolo Guerrero and Hugo Sotil have done it, but players from around the world such as
Cristiano Ronaldo, Zlatan Ibrahimovich, Diego Maradona, and Carlos Tevez have also done it.
No only does the fan take them to elevate their ego, but also to make a lot of money. In the case of Paolo and Farfán, they made a lot of money because thousands went to see their productions, despite the fact that they are not cinematic gems.
