sorry, but he doesn’t look good at all… I don’t get the hype about him.
I don’t care about his skin color, he is just perfectly molded! <3
Cristiano is the island of Madeira. That island had many African slaves working in fields of sugar. That’s African heritage have many of the inhabitants of the island. I think it is clear that Ronaldo has an African side. He has an incredible physique, this is an African heritage.
Hes not mixed
He is white.
And his tan is fake btw
Look at his hair. He’s clearly not African.
He looks fully Southern European. Just because you’re a bit dark it doesn’t mean that you’re Mestizo, black, Indian….
A gorgeous picture of him btw. Yum…
Indian complexions vary greatly. You can’t generalize. Move over the “Indians are dark” stereotype already.
he look typical Spaniard/Portuguese
exotic looking Portuguese would be someone like Simao Sabrosa:

Simao is not that dark, you picked a picture of him with a very dark tan.
