Since hanging up his boots in 1997, Cantona has forged a successful acting career, having the most success for his part in the 1998 film Elizabeth, and in Ken Loach's 2009 movie Looking for Eric.

In his next film, Les Rencontres d'après minuit, which is out in November, the 47-year-old plays the character of L'Étalon or The Stallion.

It is a dark comedy about a young couple and their transvestite maid preparing to host an orgy, and the unusual happenings before and during their soiree.

However, Cantona insisted the film, which is directed by Yann Gonzalez, is "not foolishly voyeuristic but elegant and unique."
