Now it’s the crying game for Cantona

-

SOCCER bad boy Eric Cantona has admitted he’s actually a big CRY BABY!

The ex-manchester United hard-nut was famously banned from footy for nine months after performing a kung-fu kick on Crystal Palace fan Matthew Simmons when he was sent off in a match in 1995.

But French hero Cantona, 45, says he has now turned into a blubbing softie.

The player-turnedacto­r (above) revealed: “I cry a lot.

“It proves to me that I’m a human being without armour.

“I want to feel alive whatever I do.”

Hard-tackling former Leeds ace Cantona was shown a whopping six red cards during his Premier League playing days which ran from 1992 to 1997.

That works out at a dismissal once every 24 games.

The aspiring thesp’s latest flick Switch has just been released on DVD.
