| Which bust of Cristiano Ronaldo do you like better? The left is from March and the right was created in November. |
Soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo's good looks are finally immortalized with a bust that actually looks like him. Real Madrid soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo gets better-looking and more realistic bust of himself
The new bust was
revealed Saturday at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, Spain.
Ronaldo and his fans can rest easy knowing that this handsome bronze
figure, made by famous Spanish sculptor Jose Antonio Navarro Arteaga,
will forever uphold Ronaldo's beauty.
It
shows a more striking likeness of Ronaldo with naturalistic eyes
dreamily looking into the distance, thick arched brows, a beauty mark
resting above lifelike curved lips and perfectly coiffed hair, among
other details.
The
first try at capturing his face was a "total bust" when Portuguese
artist Emanuel Santos designed a sculpture of Ronaldo's head to
commemorate an airport being renamed after him. Being honored as the
namesake of the new Cristiano Ronaldo International Airport came with a statue that looked nothing like the soccer god.
The
original bust, which is still at the airport in Portugal, has an
awkward grin with unlevel eyes, faint and indistinct eyebrows and
unevenly plump cheeks. Some
social media users said the bust looked more like other athletes,
obscure art and the character Sloth from the film "The Goonies." It was
like something from a horror movie, one football podcast joked on
Twitter.
