New photos of Portuguese football player Cristiano Ronaldo have caused widespread debate on social media due to a surprising new look. Images of the Al-Nassr star during training, sporting a long beard, have raised questions about their authenticity. A tweet questioned whether Ronaldo's new beard is real or AI-generated. The British newspaper Daily Mail revealed the truth, noting that the original photos were posted on Ronaldo's Instagram account last week, where he was seen training with his teammates without the beard. Other fans found humor in the image, suggesting that Ronaldo resembles fellow international player Bernardo Silva and former Manchester United star Michael Carrick.
