Franklin Lobos reckons Brad Pitt should play him in a Hollywood adaptation of the Chilean mine rescue because of all the stars in Tinseltown, "he's the one that looks like me the most".The upbeat ex-pro footballer will skydive into a fundraiser at Macedonia Park, Berkeley, on Sunday.It will be only the latest wonder in a fortune-filled existence carved out since October last year, when Mr Lobos became the 27th man pulled from deep underground at Copiapo, Chile.There are book and film deals in the works. He has travelled to Miami, Los Angeles, Manchester, Prague and Israel on the strength of his new-found fame.He is in the Illawarra at the invitation of former team-mate Jorge Alarcon, of Lake Heights, whose family has organised the fundraiser football day.Despite his starring role in the event, Australia is a welcome change of pace for Mr Lobos, who is instantly recognisable in his homeland.Unlike many of the other 32 trapped miners, he was working in his home town when the mine disaster occurred and the world's media crowded in to record its every development."Some of the guys were getting out [of hospital] dressed as doctors, dressed as police officers, but for me it was a different task - everybody knew me," said Mr Lobos, who was nicknamed El Mortero Magico (The Magic Mortar) during his playing days with Chilean national side Regional Atacama in the 1980s and 1990s."In the first days I couldn't even leave my own house and that was very hard to deal with. It was very surprising. People still see you and want to show you their love."However, he considers his life to have changed "only for the better" as a result of his ordeal.It brought him closer to his wife and two daughters and was probably why he was offered a football coaching job and able to leave mining, he said.All the miners receive a monthly wage from a company that has already sold the film rights and is contracted to look after their interests.Funds from Sunday's event, called Football for the People 2 and organised by the not-for-profit group Fuerza (Strength) Chile Community, will help victims of the Chilean earthquake and the Queensland floods.Around 4000 people are expected at the event, which begins at midday and will include rides, raffles, auctions and Chilean food, music and dance. Mr Lobos will land at 12.50pm.
