A bust commissioned to honor Real Madrid player and super-hunk, Cristiano Ronaldo, is drawing some pretty terrible reviews from horrified onlookers.
The soccer superstar was on hand for the unveiling of his bronze sculpture Wednesday at the former Aeroporto da Madeira, now known as Cristiano Ronaldo International Airport.
Sadly for Ronaldo, the work of ‘art’ bears little resemblance to the handsome pro athlete.

“Thank you for being here in my honor. Seeing my name being given to this airport is something very special, everyone knows that I am proud of my country and especially my home city,” Ronaldo told the crowd. “I will try to dignify Portugal, and especially Madeira, with a spirit of sacrifice, dignity and passion.”
Twitter art critics got to work sharing their scathing reviews of the new bust:
Is that a statue of Ronaldo or Sloth? Lmao pic.twitter.com/x1vs0K3Qm5
