Cristiano Ronaldo’s narcissism knows no bounds

Any hope the Real Madrid superstar had of convincing the world that he isn’t one of the most self-absorbed people on the planet has been dashed with this story to emerge from the Spanish capital.

It was revealed today that Ronaldo has invested a little too much close personal interest in the appearance of his likeness in the exhibit.

A waxwork of the Portuguese striker has been on display in Madrid’s wax museum since December 2013, and museum communications director Gonzalo Presa claims that Ronaldo has gone to extreme lengths to ensure that his wax statue is an accurate representation of the real deal.

Cristiano told us to be sure his figure was perfect.

He sent his own hairstylist to brush his figure once a month. Cristiano’s hair is natural. It is not a wig and it comes from India.

Incredible.
