WHILE David Beckham has left for Hollywood in pursuit of his movie dreams, some of Italys World Cup-winning squad have already secured roles in a film.

Francesco Totti, Alessandro del Piero, Gianluigi Buffon, Luca Toni and Gennaro Gattuso have all taken on parts in  "L’allenatore Nel Pallone 2".

The film is the sequel to an 80s comedy which features the adventures of a hapless football manager, played by Lino Banfi.

Naturally, they all play themselves, except Totti, who plays a lawyer.

Director Sergio Martino said: "Today’s players are like divas, so this is why it’s easy for them to act in front of the camera."
