Anyone else think Cristiano Ronaldo isnt that good looking

Everyone raves about how hot he is, I think he is an arrogant show off, I just don't see the appeal.
Anyone else have a celebrity that everyone says is good looking but you just can't see it?

euros :18.8 million euros.

With a suspended prison sentence.

HolyShmoly · 15/06/2018 21:18

He regularly tops most charitable sports stars lists.
He is known for being pretty sound to fans
He's one of the absolute best in the world at his job. He puts in the hours, works really hard and is clearly very passionate.
He has an ego, but it allows him to stand face-to-face with De Gea and not lose his cool.
He wanted a family and he got one. I'm not sure why everyone is so weirded out by that - if it was a successful woman who used a sperm donor would you hold it against her?

I don't find him attractive and I find those ads for sixpad or whatever they're called absolutely hilarious. But I doubt that keeps him up at night!

If my kids were to look up to a footballer I'd much rather look up to him than the likes of Rooney.

They give to charity for tax purposes....

OutsideContextProblem · 15/06/2018 21:20

I’m not a particular fan of Ronald but it would be supercool if he won the World Cup practically single handed, broke every record ever and at his post final interview said “btw, did I mention I’m gay?”

Piggywaspushed · 15/06/2018 21:20

I did say that too job .

HolyShmoly · 15/06/2018 21:21

And I hadn't seen about the tax evasion. Blush

still better than Rooney though

derxa · 15/06/2018 21:22

Can I juts point out for those saying Ronaldo does loads for charidee that he has just been handed a two year suspended sentence and an 18 million dollar (or pound, not sure...) fine for tax fraud.... The same happened to Messi.

Piggywaspushed · 15/06/2018 21:22

and the winking after getting someone sent off??

He makes my blood boil...as you can tell!!Bless him.

Piggywaspushed · 15/06/2018 21:23

derxa indeed :MUCH smaller fine, however.

ThursdayLastWeek · 15/06/2018 21:24

Oh honestly. That was twelve years ago Grin

areyoubeingserviced · 15/06/2018 21:25

I was just telling my dh that CR is not remotely attractive.
He looks like an ultra tanned, Ken doll knock off from Poundland.

derxa · 15/06/2018 21:27

This is where me and MN disagree. I love talented sports people. Serena W. Andy M. Cristiano Lewis H. Usain. They have huge egos and are brilliant at their sport. That's enough for me. They don't need to be 'role models'.

Dickybow321 · 15/06/2018 21:28

Ronaldo used to be good looking, he's just not ageing well because of all the plastic surgery

IcedPurple · 15/06/2018 21:28

Face is meh imho but there's no denying he has a fantastic body.

I know this, because he likes to show it off at every opportunity. And I for one am not complaining.

ThursdayLastWeek · 15/06/2018 21:30

I generally agree derxa.
I don’t love them all but there needs to characters in sport because otherwise it can be so boring!

Piggywaspushed · 15/06/2018 21:30

I do tend to agree with that derxa (although Serena is a wonderful role model too) but I loathe Ronaldo.

Piggywaspushed · 15/06/2018 21:31

And I properly HEART Andy Murray.

JacquesHammer · 15/06/2018 21:31

I genuinely don’t get how people can loathe celebrities they’ve never met.

I mean sure, general irritation but loathe? I don’t loathe anyone I have met Grin

JobQuery · 15/06/2018 21:32

if it was a successful woman who used a sperm donor would you hold it against her?

Are you comparing surrogacy to sperm donation? Has any man ever died while wanking in to a cup? Grieved the loss of his sperm in the cup after keeping it alive for 9 months of sickness or dealt with the physical ramifications of wanking for years.

ilovesooty · 15/06/2018 21:40

He put in a wonderful performance tonight. I have an active interest in football and how he looks is utterly irrelevant as far as I'm concerned.

ToothyMcPuthy · 15/06/2018 22:07

He has come from very humble beginnings.
He lost his father at a young age.
His work ethic is admirable.
He loves his Mum.
He totally deserves to be where is.

We love Ronaldo in our house - he wa amazing tonight.

nancy75 · 15/06/2018 22:11

I can’t believe anyone put Andy Murray in to an ego sportsman list alongside C Ronaldo Grin

Ronaldo has got more ego in his little toenail than Murray will have in his whole life. Murray is witty but shy & clearly doesn’t love the fame side of his profession

derxa · 15/06/2018 22:16

nancy I'm Scottish. I love Andy. But surely you have to be single minded to pursued the career he has. Come on.

RedDwarves · 15/06/2018 22:20

His face creeps me out in the same way that Pete Evans' does.

Same over-white chiclet teeth.
