A bronze bust of world class soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo unveiled at an airport in his native Madeira, Portugal, has become the subject of ridicule on social media.
Unveiled at the newly renamed Cristiano Ronaldo International Airport, the bust features an extremely crooked grin, and the rest of the features aren’t much more even. It doesn’t do the handsome Ronaldo justice by a long shot, and many fans wondered how it managed to mangle the features one of the world’s best soccer players so badly.
From sportscasters to fans, Twitter users called out the weird bust.
It’s one of the few things social media posters can agree on these days that the bust is, well, a bust, and that it doesn’t look anything like the superstar soccer player it attempted to depict.
No comments from Ronaldo yet; maybe he’s just being gracious.
