Anyone else think Cristiano Ronaldo isnt that good looking

[Lorddenning1]

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?

He’s a greasy, arrogant, winking, cheating criminal. He may have a talent for football but that’s it! Not a fan.

I feel like I have divided MN

Go Ronaldo! I think you're fab.

derxa I work in Tennis and know a few people that know Murray, he is undoubtedly hard working, super competitive and wants to be the best (as does any pro sportsperson) but he doesn’t have an ego like Ronaldo!

Not a fan, personally. That statue, though, is something else. It looks more like President Assad than Ronaldo. I bet he was spitting iron filings when he saw it.

He's an amazing goal scorer and gives loads of money to good causes. He had a tough childhood and I believe his mother tried to terminate the pregnancy because they were so poor. He then had to move to mainland Portugal alone to train at a young age and got bullied because he was from Madeira.

I don't think he's good looking though.

I think he’s utterly gorgeous

I miss this man. Made the football bearable.

His neck is weirdly long...it’s like a giraffes 🦒

Don't really care, did you see that third goal???

Ever wandered why he doesn't cover his magnificent body in tattoos a la former teammate Beckham? It's because he's a regular blood donor. Yup, cheating winking diving bstard is actually an altruistic cheating winking diving bstard.

nancy75 I was watching a bit of a film on one of those channels way up the freesat list (TPTV?) from the 1950s with Cliff playing a wannabe tough kid. I couldn't get over how much he looked like Ronaldo, even down to the sneery expression!
I do think Ronaldo is a fantastic player, his skill is unbelievable. I wish he'd come back..

I absolutely don’t get the appeal of David Beckham, or most footballers. There is something tremendously unattractive about very well groomed men.

I think his statue looks exactly like him...

I wasn’t aware that he didn’t have tattoos so he could give blood. I assumed it was because he believed his body was already a perfect work of art, which could not be improved by ink .

It’s easy to laugh at Ronaldo’s ego, theatrics and narcissism but we shouldn’t forget that he is without doubt the most dedicated, professional and hard-working player in the game. I recently read that his team flew back into Madrid in the midcle of the night after an away game. The rest of the squad collected their stuff & went home to bed. Ronaldo went straight to the airport hotel and asked them to organise an ice bath for him to aid his post-match recovery.

That’s why he’s one of the greatest players ever.

Melfish you’ve made my day, I told dp Ronaldo looked like young Cliff & He bloody laughed at me! I knew it wasn’t just my eyes

BonnieF you can have tattoos and give blood so I'm not sure how true that reason he has given is.

'He looks like an ultra tanned, Ken doll knock off from Poundland.'
THIS . The man is cheap and nasty

No one linked this yet?

We call him "Christiano Don't Touch The Face Ronaldo" in this household.

He is annoyingly talented though.

@RedSaidBread haha he is a diving sod isn't it, can't believe that vid

Oh yes just remembered why I like the World Cup!

I wasn’t aware that he didn’t have tattoos so he could give blood. I assumed it was because he believed his body was already a perfect work of art, which could not be improved by ink

I'll eat my big toe if that isn't the actual reason.

The French are diving all over the place!

Wrong thread

He is as gay as a summer’s day. Any woman who fancies him is barking up the wrong tree.
