I'm not the Godfather, I'm a very bad actor! - Arsenal boss Wenger laughs off Al Pacino comparisons

After being compared to the Oscar-winning actor by Theo Walcott, the Frenchman insists there is no chance of him contemplating a career change

Arsene Wenger is not coming to a (film) screen near you soon.

Theo Walcott revealed this week that the Arsenal boss channelled his inner Al Pacino to deliver a speech to help inspire his team in their Premier League title challenge that was reminiscent of the actor when playing Tony D'Amato in Any Given Sunday.

Wenger's 20-plus years as manager have made him something of a Godfather figure at the Emirates Stadium.

But the Frenchman was keen to play The Devil's Advocate when it came to comparisons with Pacino and admits his acting skill leave a lot to be desired.
