Lionel Messi film: Meet the cool kid playing his role.

I've seen Lionel Messi's childhood pictures and I can "boldly declare" that this kid bears a striking resemblance to the Barcelona forward. Filming on the Argentine's life story has already started and the movie is expected to hit the cinemas before the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

Produced by Spanish director Alex de la Iglesia, the film which centres on the life story of the 4-time Ballon d'Or winner is also an adaptation of Italian writer, Luca Caioli's book titled, " Messi: The Inside Story of the Boy Who Became a Legend".

Pls when is the film storming Nigeria o.
