Ronaldo does, however, have a vast business empire away from football. He has also built up a record-shattering following on social media – with his toe being dipped into video production after launching the UR Cristiano YouTube channel.

The former Real Madrid and Manchester United forward has now gone one step further by teaming up with filmmaker Matthew Vaughn – who has previously worked on Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, X Men: First Class and the Kingsman series.
WHAT CRISTIANO RONALDO SAID
Ronaldo has said: “This is an exciting chapter for me, as I look ahead to new ventures in business.”
Vaughn added: “Cristiano has created stories on the pitch that I could never have written, and I look forward to creating inspiring movies with him – he’s a real-life superhero.”
