YouTube/Nike Football

What would you do if you woke up and found yourself trapped in the body of one of the best athletes in the world?

That's the topic Nike explores in this six-minute short film entitled "The Switch" which sees Cristiano Ronaldo trade bodies with a ball boy after the two collide on the sidelines during a match.

Ronaldo and the boy face the hilarious (and terrifying) prospect of trying to live life in the others' shoes; the Portuguese icon struggles with life away from the limelight while the boy revels in his newfound fame while hoping not to embarrass himself on the playing field.

Could this be the start of Ronaldo's post-football acting career?
