David Beckham’s youngest son Cruz has hit back at Cristiano Ronaldo following the Portuguese superstar’s claim that he is physically superior to the retired Manchester United legend.
Ronaldo made the remark during a recent interview with Piers Morgan uncensored, when he was asked who he considered the better looking of the two.
Predictably, the 40-year-old striker – now in his third season with Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr, did not hold back in his response.
“His face is beautiful, yes, beautiful face,” he said. ‘The rest is normal, just as it is normal. I’m not normal. I’m perfect.’
On Monday, 20-year-old Cruz Beckham took to Instagram to respond, referring to Ronaldo’s comments and drawing a comparison between the Portuguese forward’s facial features shortly after signing for Manchester United as a relatively unknown teenager in 2003 and David Beckham’s features when he was in his early twenties.
“For me, good looks are not just the face, but the whole package,” a bullish Ronaldo explained during his interview with Morgan in November.
“Imagine Cristiano and a normal guy with red speedos on the Copacabana, you think I won’t stand a chance without anyone.”
Pressed further on the comparison, Morgan elicited a confident and boastful response from the football icon.
“You walk across the Copacabana for, say, ten minutes. Who gets the most attention? he asked. “Me, 100 percent,” Ronaldo boasted, prompting Morgan to laugh.
