Cristiano Ronaldo mid-way through his makeover in his undercover stunt in the streets of Madrid

It’s been seven months in the making but the Real Madrid forward has finally released the full version of his time disguised as a homeless man.

The Portuguese captain uploaded the video to his Facebook page last night and it has already been viewed more than 20 million times.

Yesterday, Ronaldo found himself in the news for storming out of an interview, saying he did not give a f*** about FIFA or Qatar’s hosting of the 2022 World Cup Finals.

Today, it’s for this elaborate publicity stunt marking the launch of his own line of headphones and speakers, ROC Live Life Loud.

After receiving an unflattering makeover and fat-suiting up, the 30-year old takes to the streets of Madrid to go undercover and cause mischief.

He shows off his trademark skills from nutmegging members of the unsuspecting public to performing countless stepovers and juggling. It all gets a bit too much for the three-time Ballon d’Or winner who spends time chilling out with his dog and even takes an impromptu nap on the street.

The cheeky footballer even asks one woman for her number - to which she politely declines. After nearly an hour in the disguise, Ronaldo eventually reveals himself to a young boy who is utterly delighted after meeting one of the best footballers to have ever played the sport.
