Kevin-Prince Boateng preparing for a television series with Hollywood legend Sylvester Stallone

Former Ghana forward, Kevin-Prince Boateng and Hollywood legend Sylvester Stallone want to work on a TV series inspired by the life of the Hertha Berlin forward.

This was revealed by Boateng in a recent interview with Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera.

“A friendship has been made with him and I am working on a TV series based on my life but not on football,” the 34-year-old said.

The former Black Stars player grew up in impoverished Berlin without a father and left home at the age of 15, he said. “We envision Stallone doing the narration and we both play small parts. We want to show the pain and the pain that it takes to be successful.”

Boateng intends to host plans to host his own Saturday night show.

After various spells abroad in England, Italy, Spain and Turkey, he returned to his youth club Hertha in Berlin last summer.

His contract with Hertha runs until the end of this season. “Maybe I’ll stop then. I am not afraid and I have many plans. But when I walk into the locker room, I still want to play,” he said.

At last year’s European Championships, ARD used him as an expert. “I think I’ll do that again for the World Cup,” he said thinking about the upcoming World Cup in Qatar.

Boateng participated in the 2010 and 2014 World Cups with Ghana.
