Neymar Jr.

Brazil and Barcelona star Neymar is visiting the United States of A, but it's not to play in the Copa America Centenario. So what is he there for? Well, here's all the dope about his US trip...


While Neymar Jr is not in the US to play soccer, he has been still very busy off late. So what has the little genius been up to?


Well, after winning the double with FC Barcelona (they won both the La Liga and the Copa del Rey this season)and before joining the Brazilian Olympic squad in Rio, the 24-year-old striker is touring the US in what seems is a bid to strengthen his brand.


Neymar has met and is working with 'His Airness' Michael Jordan on a new model of football shoes. In this he has become the first footballer to team up with Jordan on a footwear line -- which is a huge deal (financially and otherwise).

Neymar visited New York and gave baseball a go with the New York Mets.

He was spotted with singer Selena Gomez, which led to both of them becoming a trending topic on Twitter.

He also promoted a travel site while staying at beautiful mansion in Los Angeles.

He was there to shoot for his film debut in Vin Diesel's sequel to 'XxX', which also stars our own Deepika Padukone.

He is a natural, said vin Diesel. So is Neymar planning to do more movies? Only time will tell.
