Mario Balotelli has been added to a star studded list which includes President Barak Obama, Brad Pitt and John Lennon.

The City striker has now got something in common with a whole host of A-list celebrities namely being the face of TIME Magazine.

He adorns this month’s cover and in an in-depth interview with one of the world’s longest running publications talks about a wide range of issues including his relationship with Roberto Mancini and his thoughts on racism in football.
