It’s no secret that Cristiano Ronaldo is pretty fond of himself. Let’s just say he doesn’t suffer from a lack of self-confidence.
He’s handsome, fit and great at football – and f**k me, doesn’t he know it. Just when you think his vanity has peaked, he manages to take narcissism to another level.
Let’s have a look at just five examples of Ronnie’s ego getting the better of him…
Opening a museum in his own honour
This is a little bit like pointing to the name on the back of your shirt after scoring…times a million. It takes some balls to devote a whole visitor attraction to yourself.
In fairness to Ronaldo, he sees the ‘CR7 Museum’ as a personal tribute to Madeira’s favourite son – it’s not his fault if that happens to be him…
Commissioning his own private waxwork
The problem with opening a you-themed museum in your home-town is what do you do if you live in a whole other country?
Simple – you pay £27,000 for an identical waxwork of your yourself to be created for your Madrid mansion, so you’ll never be far from a 3D version of your one true love…
Naming his son Cristiano Ronaldo Jr
Becoming a father is a life-changing event. It gives you a fresh perspective on life and forces you to become less self-obsessed and vain.
There’s no doubting that Ronaldo is very sweet with his five-year-old son, but naming him Cristiano Ronaldo Jr? Just a tad egotistical…
Specifically requesting a huge erection of himself
As well as a museum, another generous gift that Ronaldo gifted his native Portugal was a huge statue of himself in the city of Funchal.
The giant bronze erection shows the Real Madrid star in his classic free-kick pose – with what looks like teammate Luka Modric stuffed down the front of his shorts…
A very Ronaldo sunset photograph
We rest our case…
Maybe the only person in the world that would take a picture of himself at sunset rather than the sunset pic.twitter.com/708I8s4mjF
