VIDEO: Cristiano Ronaldo jokingly mocks lookalike fan
"Bro, you don't look like me, you're very ugly..."
Seeing your idol up close is a moment many people can only dream of. So when a fan gets the chance to meet their favourite artist or football player, it’s nothing short of a dream come true.
Some fans become star-struck, while others are eager to express their unwavering support and admiration. If they're lucky, they’ll experience a warm and positive interaction, but that’s not always the case.
Cristiano Ronaldo found himself in the spotlight recently after a video surfaced showing him interacting with a fan who was said to resemble him.
Initially, it seemed like Ronaldo was being a bit feisty, but in reality, it was all in good fun – something anyone who watched the full video could clearly see.

The video captures a beaming fan as Ronaldo speaks to him. All he wants is to express his admiration, repeatedly telling Ronaldo that he's the best.
Ronaldo's words don’t seem to faze the fan at all; if anything, he’s even more elated that the legendary footballer took the time to acknowledge him.
At the time, Ronaldo was doing practise laps ahead of Al-Nassr FC’s match against Al Shabab FC on March 11, 2025, when he noticed the fan wearing a Portugal shirt.
While some fans found the interaction distasteful, others saw it for what it was: a casual, friendly exchange between two guys.
The smirk and thumbs-up at the end of the video further confirmed that it was a lighthearted moment between a fan and his football hero.
