in #story7 years ago

Ask anyone who Cristiano Ronaldo is and they will instantly tell you that he is a football player with a figure carved out of stone who also happens to own his brand of underwear.Such is his fame that there is a good chance that most of the people of the country that deem it fit to call football ‘soccer’, use hands in their version of football and elect Donald Trump as their president would know who he is.

So what’s the reason behind the limelight that zooms in on him? Here are 5 possibilities…

#1 A living and walking brandWhile Shakira has hips that make men go mad, Cristiano Ronaldo owns a face that makes commercial brands go crazy for him. His unique hairstyles coupled with his clean-shaven face makes him the most marketable players in the world.There is something distinctive about him that stands out above the rest. Not only does keep his exterior appearance posh, he also wears the right clothes to go with it. Watch any Ballon d’Or gala and you will know why he captures your eyes more than any of the players attending the event.The shiny hair-wax forms the perfect pair to his gleaming face and with the expensive designer clothes and proprietary shoes, he becomes a complete living and walking brand that attracts money like nectar attracts bees.

#2 Has the highest rated IMDB football documentary in his name

If you are a footballer who has the highest rated IMDB football documentary, more people are bound to know about you. Being crowned the best footballer in the world might make Cristiano Ronaldo the most renowned name in Europe and South America, but it doesn’t make much of a difference in the United States since most of them don’t follow the game as much as the rest.Indeed, their version of football is a group of muscular men wearing helmets and physically assaulting each other for the ball, which they can apparently touch with their hands. Most nation would call this game Rugby with protective gears, but not the US, though, as they do things the hipster way.Hence, being a known face in the USA—one of the most commercially powerful countries in the world—is a little difficult for people who play actual football. But due to the fact that the Portuguese also happens to have a documentary on himself, his face is more recognised than the other footballers not named Beckham.

#3 Dates supermodels

This is more of a two-way thing. The fact that he is famous makes him all the more likely to date supermodels. However, it
works the other way around too, especially if you date celebrities of a country where you are not as famous.Cristiano Ronaldo has dated more women than the number of women a common man fantasises himself with. Two of the most famous people he had a brief fling were Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton. Once again, Cristiano’s association with them only made him more famous.

#4 Owns an underwear company

If being an elite-level footballer wasn’t enough, owning an underwear brand with your name just about does it. Undergarments are just like the things they cover, it is important but people don’t like to talk about it.According to a research conducted by Vanity Fair, 7% of American men don’t wear underwear on a daily basis. Even if we increase it to 10%, it can be assumed that about a billion men around the world wear underwear—and some of them now don the Portuguese’s product.Owning an underwear company is one of the easiest ways to become famous. After all, every time one goes to answer the calls of nature, they will see the ‘CR7’ label on their underwear and that, in turn, makes more people aware of the Real Madrid star’s existence.

#5 Has been banging them in since the Bush administration![cris-1498395520-800.jpg]

And, finally, the football aspect makes its way to this list. It seems as though Cristiano Ronaldo has been wreaking havoc against defences since the Bush administration. Since then, the world has lived through two Obama tenures and are now having to face the term of Donald Trump.But one thing has remained constant: Cristiano Ronaldo banging them in. The Portuguese has been scoring consistently for over a decade or so, stretching back to when George Bush Jr. was leading the office of the USA.When someone is so brilliant for such a long time, it is impossible for people to not notice her/him. And it is no different in the case of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Diego Maradona is the most famous footballer in the world and is famous for football not business.

I used to dislike cristiano ronaldo when he was with man utd but over the years i've grown to love him.vi mean ego aside, he's an all round nice guy who doesn't even get a tattoo so that he can donate blood.

Either way, he's at the end of his career and i think it's the end of an era too.
