Cristiano Ronaldo endorsement armani underwear
Cristiano Ronaldo has swapped his hotpants for something even skimpier in the new campaign for Emporio Armani Underwear. [align=left][/align][align=left] [size=12pt]The Real Madrid footballer has replaced David Beckham as the face - and body - of the Italian brand. [/size][/align][align=left] [size=12pt]Never the modest type, Ronaldo appears to have embraced his new modelling career with gusto, striking a series of moody poses and showing off a six-pack which would make Becks green with envy. [/size][/align][align=left] [size=12pt]The 24-year-old reportedly maintains his chiseled abs by performing 3,000 sit-ups a day. [/size][/align][align=left] [size=12pt]Giorgio Armani was full of praise for the "sexy" sportsman. [/size][/align][align=left] [size=12pt]"Cristiano is a great-looking young man with the perfect physique of an athlete," Armani said. [/size][/align][align=left] [size=12pt]"For me, he is the essence of youth - spontaneous, exciting and a real maverick. It is for his energy that I have chosen Cristiano to become the new face of Armani Jeans and Emporio Armani Underwear - for his youthful, exciting, and, yes, sexy attitude." [/size][/align][align=left] [size=12pt]In the ad for Armani Jeans, also in moody black and white, Ronaldo can barely keep the jeans on. [/size][/align][align=left] [size=12pt]He said: "Giorgio Armani is a legend in the fashion world and I have long been a fan of his work. I am very pleased with the pictures we have done together - they are certainly striking and are full of attitude and a spirit I can relate to." [/size][/align][align=left] [size=12pt]The footballer's fashion sense is legendary and was the cause of much hilarity when he was at Manchester United. [/size][/align][align=left] [size=12pt]His style crimes included metallic hotpants and a love of baby pink. When he was ridiculed for wearing tiny shorts and tucking a pink flower behind his ear last summer, he retorted: "I don't know why people are so interested in what I wear on holiday. Men wear pink these days. OK, not many men were flowers, but it's good to be different."
