LONDON - Ace Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo’s wax figure has been unveiled at Madame Tussauds here.
One of the most expensive soccer players in the world, Ronaldo’s wax statue was unveiled Wednesday. Aceshowbiz.com reports that it took four months and $218,000 to create the figure.
Ronaldo’s replica joins those of football ace David Beckham and English footballer Steven Gerrard at the museum.
