Ronaldo 'wants to look beautiful'

Cristiano Ronaldo proclaimed he "wants to look beautiful" in a video message to his fans on Wednesday.

The Real Madrid forward is famed for caring deeply about the way he looks, though his detractors derive glee from mocking Ronaldo's renowned obsession with his image.

The 30-year-old underwear model has never let the criticism dampen his open attitude towards his perceived vanity and his latest video was taken while being preened by two male hair-stylists.

Referring to the line that has been shaved into the side of his hair, Ronaldo asked his Twitter followers for their opinion on how to make him look as handsome as possible.
