Olivier Giroud Set to Make His Acting Debut as 'Green Goblin' in Upcoming Spider-Man Animation

Olivier Giroud has lent his voice to the French dub of the upcoming animation film 'Spider-Man: New Generation'.

The Chelsea striker, alongside his french national teammate Presnel Kimpembe, are making their acting debuts in the film, which is set to be released in December. Giroud will play the part of 'Green Goblin' (or Bouffon Vert), whilst Kimpembe will voice fellow villain in the spider-man universe 'Scorpion'.

Considering Giroud's famous scorpion kick goal against Crystal Palace, some might wonder if the casting team got their picks the wrong way around.

The duo have laid down their vocal talents alongside French actor Stephane Bak and singer Camelia Jordana and join a long list of footballers who have turned their hands to acting over the years.
