Cristiano Ronaldo is getting close with Bollywood beauty Bipasha Basu…
The football star met the 28-year-old Indian actress-model met at the VIP party after the new Seven Wonders of The World was announced at a gala ceremony in his native Portugal.
Their liaison came just hours after his ‘girlfriend’ Gemma Atkinson was forced to come clean over her fling with Ronaldo’s United team mate Alan Smith. Atkinson admitted meeting Smith but insisted that their relationship ended before she got together with Ronaldo over Christmas. Who is cheating on who now?
Cristiano Ronaldo won a £400 bet last season with Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson when he netted 17 times, beating his 15-goal target.
According to The Sun, the Portuguese winger will make a cheeky bet with Fergie for the new season… he will bet on his hair that he could score 20 Premier League goals.
“I’ll shave my hair off if I don’t score 20 Premier League goals — you shave your hair off if I do.” A Reds source revealed: “Ronaldo has been joking with pals he will be able to give the gaffer serious hairdryer treatment.
“Ronny is really confident. He spends a lot of time on his hair so wouldn’t put it at risk lightly.”
Cristiano Ronaldo claims he is not showing off when he utilises his array of trickery, merely satisfying his own lifelong addiction to football.
Before befuddling opponents with his sorcery, as he invariably does, the 21-year-old winger puts on a bewitching pre-match show as he runs through his repertoire of tricks and flicks.
“I cannot help caressing the ball or enjoying juggling.
“I used to do it when I played in the street, I kept on doing it all throughout my training and I still do it now. And I will keep on doing it.
“This is the real Ronaldo. I believe that when people see me on the pitch playing with the ball before the beginning of the warm-up, they may be tempted to think that this is nothing but a charm offensive or showing off.
“If this is what you think then you are wrong, because I do it naturally. Before matches, both for the club and when I play for Portugal, I always have the same routine.”
