The FIFA film United Passions was one of those things we couldn't get our heads around.

Many people were convinced it was little more than a propaganda piece for under-fire Sepp Blatter, and it was a box office flop to end all box office flops. The one thing we couldn't work out was why Tim Roth, a respected actor with films such as Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, had agreed to get involved. roth Well now Roth has explained his decision in a Reddit Q&A, describing it as 'the wrong film but for the right reasons. 'I had two kids in college so I had to make a decision and it was probably poorly judged, but once you make that decision you have to follow through,' the British actor explained. 'It's a hard road, being in something you don't want to do, but I'm glad I did it for my family.' We'd probably find it hard to turn down the amount of money he's likely to have been offered, to be fair.
