CR7: Cristiano Ronaldo Wannabe Fan Spends Thousands Of Pounds To Look Like Him (Photos)


A 17 year old teenager gripped with 'Ronaldo fever' has spent thousands of pounds just to emulate his football hero.Shanta, who even adopted the surname Ronaldo, has already met his idol five times this year alone.


The boy who looks remarkably similar to Cristiano Ronaldo began to copy the footballer's fashion sense as well.He insists he is just trying to "be himself" and claims that the footballer "motivates" him to pursue his goals.

The teen has become well known around the football club, where he waits for hours outside just to get a glimpse of his hero.


Shanta has also developed a fan base himself, with over 14,500 people following his journey on Twitter.He posts tweets on a daily basis on the latest news surrounding Ronaldo.

Shanta, from Odense, Denmark, said: "My obsession for Cristiano is enormous.

"The reason I wanted to get a life like him is that he is rich, famous and living the life!" 


Shanta started following the life of the Portuguse legend when he switched playing at Manchester United for Real Madrid in 2009.

He then began to borrow his parent's money to chase his dream of meeting the star.

He claims that wherever Ronaldo goes, he will follow.He said: "I've met him for a couple of times and I can't explain such a fantastic person he is. 

"I waited every day at the Real Madrid training ground from 9am to 2pm just to see him.

"Now, he knows me it means every time I go to Madrid I can meet him, which I am so proud of.

"I'm already planning my next trip which is very soon." 

Shanta said: "He's not just my passion, but he motivates me.

"Some may think I'm crazy, but that's the way I am.

"People tell me, 'be yourself' but I cannot be myself more than I am now."
