Manchester United legend Eric Cantona is set to star in a French erotic comedy-thriller, in which he plays a character called The Stallion. who is invited by a young couple and their transvestite maid for an orgy.
The movie, Les Recontres d'Après Minuit (Encounters After Midnight), but named You and The Night in the English speaking world, will be out in November. Cantona has described the film as "not foolishly voyeuristic but elegant and unique".
Over the years, we have seen sports people making cameo appearances, even as only themselves, and generally to embarrassing affect, but playing a sex crazed, orgy-enthusiast somehow seems right up Cantona's street.

An English-subtitled trailer of the movie can be seen below, and the final line is definitely worth waiting for.
