Isn't he the English soccer player Wayne Rooney?

yeah, that's Rooney alright. That red cross on his chest is actually the cross of St. George which is the English flag (that's why he's painted white as well. This is probably a pre-World Cup or European Cup ad). That said, Nike is definitely going for the Messiah of the English people angle here.
