    Im from sri lanka and im of Tamil & Portuguese descent .
    Im 100% sure Ronaldos grandmother is ethnic Portuguese orgin. It has nothing to do with skin colour , Ronaldo has Caucasian Facial feutures look at him . Im little dark Brown like most Indians (India) but my Facial feutures are 80% like Caucasian.

    CRonaldo has no great grandmother from Cap Verde. This is an absolute stupidity. Ronaldo is completely white has all real Portuguese.

    Some have more sun exposure than others. Ronaldo likes the good life and is often seen in beaches and resorts as well as being a user of solarium.

    Look at pictures of a young Ronaldo at United and it’s clear that he is 100% Caucasian.

    He’s overrated and not as hot as he thinks he is. I’ve seen better looking guys than him that aren’t even famous.

      How do you know what he thinks? Are you some sort of mind reader?

      Anyway, his current GF, one of the hottest Supermodels on earth, must be a lot more attractive than you and she ain’t complaining.

      By the way, no one ever said he is the most attractive person on earth. Only that he is the best football player and ADDING to that, one of the most attractive bodies of the world sports.

    Ronaldo is white like all people who are ethnically Portuguese.

    Just because he has some non-white admixture at some point down the line it does not make him a non-white.

    Some white people have small percentages of Native American and black in them.

    That doesn’t mean they aren’t white.

    He’s white and that’s all.
