Eric Cantona in "Elizabeth"??

[The Silver Bullet]

What's the story with Eric Cantona portraying a French duke in the movie "Elizabeth" with Cate Blanchett? Is the soccer player now an actor, too? Surely there isn't ANOTHER Eric Cantona.

Shed some light on this if you can, someone.

It is Cantona in the film (not a bad performance as well) and I believe that he was in a small role in a French film last year playing a rugby player.

The film was called "Mookie" and he played a boxer from what I've heard and before that he had a small role in another french film that but I can't remember it's name. Cantona is one of those few people who can do many things and do them well, a truly great man.
