Famous Paraguay World Cup fan Larissa Riquelme has a new job. She and Mexican soccer player Cuauhtemoc Blanco will begin their acting careers on a new TV drama series in Mexico, according to Yahoo Eurosport.
The 37-year-old Blanco, who became the oldest goal-scorer in the 2010 World Cup, will be playing a fireman while still playing soccer for second division Irapuato.
"I know I'll be criticised, people will make fun of me, but I don't care," Blanco said. "I'll give it all my efforts and I know I'll come through."
Riquelme, who has kept quite busy during the past few months, became a soccer sensation during the World Cup when she promised to run nude through the streets if Paraguay won the tournament.
Her role in the TV series remains unknown, but she recently posed naked for Playboy Brazil. Scroll down for photos of her showing off the 3D issue.
