Football star Cristiano Ronaldo has broken the internet with his cooked new ad for Asian shopping website Shopee. Brace yourselves, because once you watch this video, you will never be the same.
What? Why? I don’t understand.
First of all, Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the wealthiest athletes in the fucking world. According to Forbes, he’s on a base salary of $64 million per year, and apparently boasts a net worth of about $450 million. So… why the fuck is he doing weird ass ads like this?
The clip first surfaced on Friday, and shows the Portuguese football player promoting e-commerce app Shopee. Shopee is the Singapore-based company that he’s apparently the ambassador of.
Ronaldo, who looks slightly like a weird CGI-version of himself in the video, must’ve made some big bucks for this absolute monstrosity of an ad.
The 34-year-old is no stranger to a cooked ad, previously appearing in an equally weird ad for a Japanese face-workout system. Who knows, maybe $64 mil isn’t cutting it and he needs to have a bit of an acting side hustle. Or maybe he just really believes in the products.
In the ad, Ronaldo scores a goal before the whole crowd enters a weird trance-like state and become possessed by Shopee.
Obviously, it doesn’t stop there. They then decide to bust out singing a Shopee spoof of the horrific Baby Shark song that’s been stuck in my head for the last six months.
“We are delighted to announce our partnership with one of the greatest athletes of our time. He is an inspiration to many, and his dedication to football matches the deep commitment we have towards our users. Together with Cristiano Ronaldo, we look forward to creating a lasting positive impact on our region,” Chris Feng, Shopee CEO said.
Is Cristiano Ronaldo okay? Twitter definitely doesn’t think so.
