Roma and Italy legend Daniele De Rossi spent hours in a makeup chair being put in a disguise so he could attend the Rome derby without being recognised – and it worked!
De Rossi’s wife, Italian actress and model Sarah Felberbaum, posted a time-lapse video on Instagram showing the lengthy progress of turning the World Cup-winning midfielder into just another member of the Stadio Olimpico crowd.
With layers of makeup, a long blonde wig, beard dye, hat and obligatory Clark Kent glasses, the 36-year-old apparently got through Sunday’s Derby della Capitale without being recognised by a single fan.
