Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the striker for Saudi club Al-Qadsiah, has revealed his plans to change professions once his football career ends. In an interview with The Athletic, Aubameyang expressed his desire to become an actor.
The Gabonese forward is taking the idea seriously, preparing for his new path by taking acting lessons. He mentioned that he envisions himself in comedic roles.
“If you see me in a film that’s too serious then nah, you will not believe it. If it’s comedy, yes, you’re going to believe it,” Aubameyang shared.
However, Aubameyang hasn’t ruled out staying involved in football. He is intrigued by roles such as sporting director or even club ownership. Coaching, though, is not something that appeals to him.
Throughout his career, Aubameyang has played for numerous top clubs, including AC Milan, Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal, Barcelona, Chelsea, and Marseille. In the summer of 2024, he moved to Saudi Arabia, joining Al-Qadsiah for a €9 million transfer fee paid to Marseille.
Aubameyang is also a key player for the Gabon national team, having earned 77 caps and scored 31 goals.
