Tim Roth: I hated playing Blatter in awful FIFA film

The actor, who has starred in films such as "Pulp Fiction" and "Reservoir Dogs," acknowledges that he only took the role in "United Passions" for financial gain.

Tim Roth says he “hated” playing Sepp Blatter in FIFA’s $29 million "United Passions" film.

Roth took on the lead role in the movie, which charts FIFA’s formation and history. "United Passions" was recently confirmed as the lowest grossing film in U.S. history, taking just $918 in cinemas before being pulled by its distributor, and Roth has now acknowledged that he only took the role because of the money offered.
