The Portuguese icon is a source of inspiration for some while others feel the player's ego is detrimental, as one famous actress made clear in an interview.
Spanish actress Elena Anaya has hit out at Cristiano Ronaldo, labeling the Real Madrid attacker a “harmful figure” and a “false idol.”
Anaya, who starred alongside Antonio Banderas in Pedro Almodovar's critically acclaimed 2010 film "The Skin I Live In," was critical of Ronaldo's attitude in general, claiming that his ego is damaging to society.
“We live an era in which harmful figures like Cristiano Ronaldo are praised,” Anaya said in an interview with El Mundo.
