It’s a very well known fact that actor Ranbir Kapoor is a huge fan of football. Recently, the actor had also revealed that he was huge fan of Lionel Messi and had gone to watch the football match that featured him in Kolkata.

But in a recent interview with a daily, actor Ranbir Kapoor revealed that if not an actor he would have been a footballer.

“Football is life for me and if not an actor, I would have loved to be a footballer. It teaches team work, determination and discipline apart from being such an exciting sport,” he said.

The 29 year old actor recently shot for a new Pepsi campaign on football theme.

“I am thrilled that Pepsi is bringing the joy of football to India and am delighted to be a part of this campaign,” said Ranbir Kapoor.

The television commercial will go on air from Saturday and will have Ranbir displaying his football skills, with hilarious results.

“Football is gaining immense popularity in India and being a true youth soul-mate, Pepsi is proud to be associated with the sport,” said Deepika Warrier, executive director (Marketing), PepsiCo Beverages, India.
