Cristiano Ronaldo reenacts Home Alone in Portuguese commercial

A new highlight in Cristiano’s prolific advertising career


The holiday advertising season is upon us and this year we’ve received the gift of a truly bizarre Cristiano Ronaldo spot for a Portuguese telecom company. In the commercial, Cristiano takes up the role Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone, reenacting several of the film’s most famous scenes, with his real-life mother playing the role of his mom (naturally).

This is odd for several reasons:

  1. Cristiano Ronaldo is a 31-year-old man (with a child of his own), so being left home alone should not be that unusual.
  2. The commercial has a sitcom laugh track, which the film definitely did not have.
  3. Again, Cristiano Ronaldo is a fully grown adult person.

That said, this is a truly spectacular piece of cinema and we can only hope it is just the beginning of Cristiano doing shot for shot remakes of other holiday classics like A Christmas Story, Elf, and Bad Santa.


Cristiano Ronaldo to extend career as long as it takes to play in a world without Lionel Messi

The Real Madrid star will play as long as it takes to live his ultimate dream


At 31 years old, Cristiano Ronaldo has signed a new five-year deal with Real Madrid and he says his career won’t end with this contract.

From the PA:

“I want to stay here and finish here,” Ronaldo said. “It is not my last contract, I want to keep going until I’m 41 but now the most important thing is this special moment that makes me happy and my family, too.

“I’m at the best club in the world. Everyone knows what my thoughts are. I want to continue being the best. I want to wear this shirt with pride. I’m sure I’m going to contribute the same over the next five years as I have in my time here, scoring goals and winning titles.”

So why is Cristiano so intent on playing until he’s 41 years old? Well, since Lionel Messi has already retired from international football once at the age of 29, he must be convinced that Messi will be completely out of the game a decade from now, allowing him to finally in his version of heaven on earth: without Lionel Messi out there messing things up for him (pun intended).

No Messi to challenge him for headlines or scoring titles or the Ballon d’Or. No Messi to help Barcelona deny Real Madrid all the silverware they could possibly desire. No Messi for people to constantly ask him about, taunt him with, and hold above him.

And if Messi should play into his 40s as well, Cristiano will surely announce his desire to play until he’s 60. Or 70. Or even 100. He might be a step or two slower at that age, but he’ll probably still be scoring goals and showing off his abs. And above all, he’ll be living his dream.


Cristiano Ronaldo completes hat trick of pain for Antoine Griezmann

Over the last four months, Cristiano Ronaldo has inadvertently tormented Antoine Griezmann. First, Cristiano’s Real Madrid beat Griezmann’s Atletico Madrid in the Champions League final for the second time in three years. Griezmann missed a penalty in the second half that could have changed the outcome. Then, Cristiano’s Portugal beat Griezmann’s France in the Euro 2016 final even though Cristiano got hurt during the first half. Finally, Griezmann and Cristiano, alongside Gareth Bale, were finalists for the Best Player in Europe award. This is where the previous daggers to the Frenchman’s heart were pushed in a bit further.

Cristiano Ronaldo coaches Portugal to Euro 2016 title, cements the Summer of Cristiano

After getting stretchered off in the first half of the Euro 2016 final and wiping the tear drowned moths from his face, Cristiano Ronaldo didn’t hide in self-pity — he came back out and took on a new job for Portugal: head coach. With a brace on his knee, Cristiano hobbled up and down the touchline, shouting instructions that may or may not have drowned out those of actual manager Fernando Santos.

Moth consoles tearful Cristiano Ronaldo after Euro 2016 final injury

A collision with France’s Dimitri Payet early in the first half of the Euro 2016 final left Cristiano Ronaldo with a badly injured knee. Though he isn’t normally one to receive the world’s empathy, watching him exhaust every ounce of his considerable willpower to try and continue before tearfully going off for treatment twice and eventually having to be stretchered off in the 25th minute was a genuinely heartbreaking sight. Even for one moth in particular.
