ICELANDIC star Rurik Gislason is such a heartthrob he’s had offers to buy his sperm.
The 32-year-old has decided to hang up his boots in pursuit of becoming an actor.
But if the six-pack sporting star ever finds himself strapped for cash, Gislason will have a Plan B ready and waiting thanks to women across the globe.
The former Charlton player became a global sensation overnight during the 2018 World Cup when he came on against Argentina in the opening fixture.
His Instagram followers rocketed from 30,000 to 300,000 and he now has over 780,000 – over double the population of Iceland.
Gislason was also dubbed the ‘sexiest player’ at the tournament in Russia.
He was showered with messages from women including some rather bizarre requests.
Gislason told Visir portal: “After the game, I took the phone to see the messages, there were various requests, including whether I would like to donate sperm to that person.”
The former midfielder failed to make an appearance for Charlton’s first team before moving to Viborg in 2007.
He also enjoyed stints at Copenhagen and FC Nurnberg.

Gislason also owns a gin and fashion range and is now preparing to hit the big screens.
Reported by Mundo Deportivo, he said: “There are some interesting projects in the future that I have decided to say yes to.
“It is a television program in Germany and I have decided to try to be in an Icelandic film.”
