A startlingly life-like waxwork figure of footballing legend Cristiano Ronaldo has been revealed in New York - and was greeted by the man himself.
Just days ahead of the World Cup, the Portugal frontman's likeness was revealed to huge crowds in Times Square. It comes amid the player's controversy with Manchester United, after his fierce criticism of management in a TalkTV interview.
But yesterday, Ronaldo appeared to be all smiles as video footage showed him meeting his wax doppelganger and giving a 'personal message' to his fans to celebrate the waxwork reveal with Madame Tussauds and Visit Portugal.
