Cristiano Ronaldo Launches His Underwear Range

He filled the vacant spot left by Madrid bound David Beckham when he signed for Manchester United in 2003 – but it would seem the similarities between the two footballers don't stop there.

Indeed, the Portuguese winger has enjoyed a career comparable to the the former England skipper, having followed him to the Bernabeu – albeit two-years after Beckham swapped Spain for Southern California and Los Angeles Galaxy.

Like Becks, the moisturized midfielder has also developed separate interests away from the pitch – and he was on hand to launch his latest at Madrid’s Palacio de Cibeles on Thursday.

Ronaldo was attending the official launch of his new underwear range, CR7, and anyone wondering what his debut collection looks like didn’t have to look too far - a 19-metre tall campaign image featuring the chiseled winger in all his glory was suspended above in the landmark building’s renaissance courtyard.
