Cristiano Ronaldo paints his toenails! Eagle-eyed fans spot star's varnished toes as he shows off ripped physique alongside lookalike son, 14... And there's a real health benefit behind it
Celebrating Father's Day in
style, they appeared to have worked out together in a state-of-the-art gym.
Indeed, Ronaldo captioned the post: 'Like father, like son'.
Clad in red shorts, Ronaldo
tensed for the camera, revealing he remains shredded even in the twilight of
his career, while his son, wearing blue shorts, followed suit.
However, the recent photo
caught some eagle-eyed followers by surprise.
That is because Ronaldo, who regularly shares pictures where he is seen enjoying his downtime between matches, was seen sporting a jet black toenail on his left foot.
But there is a method behind the madness - with MMA fighters also following suit.
According to a source via German publication Bild, athletes paint their nails or cover them with a protective layer to protect them from fungi and bacteria.
The source said: 'Many top athletes do this to protect their nails from fungi and bacteria when they are stuck in sweaty shoes for hours. Even Mike Tyson.'
This is not the first time that he has been pictured with his toe nails painted black.
Ronaldo posted a picture of himself in a sauna in April 2023 as he recovered from his Al-Nassr exertions.
Typically, the photo showed off his incredible physique as he sat with his hands grasped and looked thoughtful in the image shared on Instagram.
In January 2023, MMA fighter Francis Ngannou posted a picture with Ronaldo. Again, the Portuguese forward's painted nails were visible for all to see.
The look is another sign of a player who has always looked to go the extra mile.
