Inter Milan fullback Yuto Nagatomo thrilled to be movie star

Inter Milan fullback Yuto Nagatomo is proud of a new film release based on himself.

One of the films presented at the Japanese Film Festival in Milan was an animated film based on Nagatomo - Yuto-kun ga Iku.

"When they came to me with the idea of this cartoon I was instantly positive about it because I want children to understand that they need desire and strength so they don't give up chasing their dreams.

"That's exactly what happened to me. So the message I want to give to kids is never give up and be positive.

"I'm a footballer now and that's what I dreamt of doing. I play for a very important team, Inter, so someone has given me a lot and I feel I should always give back."
