Anything Becks can do... Now Cristiano Ronaldo shows off his stunning six-pack in latest Armani underwear ad

They are two of the world's most recognisable faces - and bodies.

So when it came to replacing David Beckham, Armani looked no further than fellow footballer Cristiano Ronaldo.

The 24-year-old Real Madrid star, famous for his waxed torso and silky skills on the pitch, has posed for Armani's Spring 2010 campaign.

And, boy, did he pose.

 

Macho man: Cristiano Ronaldo flexes his muscles in the Spring/ Summer 2010 ad campaign for Armani

 

 

Toned: The sportsman does 3,000 sit-ups a day to maintain his killer abs

During his two years with the Italian fashion house, 34-year-old Beckham was thought to have benefited from a spot of air-brushing to help accentuate his muscles.

But at 10 years younger, 24-year-old Real Madrid star Ronaldo - who does 3,000 sit-ups a day to maintain his killer abs - will perhaps not require as much touching up.

That's not to say that the Portuguese 'winker' hasn't taken some inspiration from Mr Beckham over the years.

Not only has he taken his Armani crown, seen here fronting the Spring/ Summer 2010 ad campaign, but he has also followed him around the football pitch too.

In 2003 he signed for Manchester Untied, only to bag the famous No 7 shirt worn by the club's departed star player Beckham.

Fresh blood: He has replaced David Beckham to become the new spokesmodel for Emporio Armani Men’s Underwear and Armani Jeans

Not shy: The sportsman will be seen in the sizzling ads in magazines and on billboards from next month across the world

And then two years after Becks left Real Madrid for LA Galaxy, Ronaldo reared his head again by signing a deal with the Spanish club.

In recent years has even been seen enjoying spending time in Los Angeles, proving that  where ever Beckham is, Ronaldo is not far behind.

The pictures for the ad, which will hit billboards and magazines next month, were shot on location Madrid by renowned fashion photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.

'Perfect physique': Giorgio Armani has praised his latest signing, saying he embodies the 'essence of youth'

Speaking of his new signing, Giorgio Armani said: 'Cristiano is a great looking man with the perfect physique of an athlete.  

'For me, he is the essence of  youth - spontaneous, exciting, a real maverick. It is for his energy that I have chosen Cristiano to become the new face of Armani Jeans and Emporio Armani Underwear - for his youthful, exciting and yes, sexy, attitude.'

Cristiano added that he was 'very flattered' to be asked to model for the brand, saying he was 'very pleased' with the 'striking pictures'.

Remember this? Beckham's white pant pose in 2007 sparked speculation he had benefited from some computer enhancement in the brief department

Beckham first signed a £20million deal to become the new global ambassador of the fashion house in 2007.

His 35-year-old wife Victoria followed suit with her own £12 million three-year deal at the end of 2008, with Italian designer Giorgio Armani praising her as an 'intriguing woman'.

In 2007, Beckham raised suspicion that he had benefited from some computer enhancement in the brief department.

It was after he featured in one of the brand's campaigns in a pair of revealing white pants. At the time his spokesman refused to comment on the reports.

Lol, thanks!! Ronaldo doesn't do anything for me. I was annoyed by his very unprofessional posing... He looks strange!

Beckham on the other hand... 

This expression (I just looked up INTJ characters lol) - note the subtle smirk


 

Personally I'm all about Colin Firth as Mr Darcy. ^_^ Gibbs is more like an INTJ dad.

Straight from INTJforum:

House's character is complex because the actor isn't playing his own personality:

Actor: ISTP
Character: INTJ

Not the first ISTP to play an introverted intuitive and confuse the f*ck out of viewers -- Dr. Cox on Scrubs is an INTJ/ENTP played by very funny ISTP.

Unless an actor is playing his or her own personality type or at least something similar...or is VERY good at losing their identity in the role, I don't think it's entirely possible to have a 100% perfect view of the type. I mean....Hugh Laurie was a total ESFJ in Stewart Little....yet still came across as very I at times. 

I don't even know who you quoted, but I don't know what gives them any authority considering the fact that they didn't include any logic or evidence to support their claim (interesting that you got that from the INTJ forum). If you have watched an episode of House, then you know House is a Perceiver. Characteristic of perceivers, he treats before he investigates. He leaps before he looks. Consider a true INTJ, Sherlock Holmes. He'd aim... aim... aim... aimmmmmm... ...Aim. Then when the opportunity arose, FIRE MOTHA EFFIN FIRE. *Smoldering crater* ^_^

Now consider Dr. Gregory House, he sees a patient's file, skips investigating them, treats them, considers how they get worse when responding to the treatment, then adjusts treatment, responds to how they react to it, totally winging it and changing diagnoses as the episode runs. An INTJ would want to be SURE before making a move, this is how Judging functions work. If House were an INTJ each episode would be a lot like an autopsy, with a living patient. At the end he would tell the audience the cause of illness and leave his team to treat it. It would be correct because he made sure before he even spoke.

INTJs consider the unspoken truths and see through a situation (Ni)
INTPs consider every possibility (Ne)
INTJs think for the sake of doing (Te)
INTPs think for the sake of thinking (Ti)
INTJs are selfish, self-serving, and shamelessly so (Fi)
INTPs have an inferior function of (Fe) and neither understand nor value the harmony of a group (Characteristic of House)
INTJs have a mind-body disconnect due to their (Se) inferior function and neglect their body, are unaware of their body and present sensations unless they mentally assess them. An INTJ with a painful injury could successfully ignore it if allowed to focus on other thoughts. (Lance Armstrong)
The INTPs sensing function (Si) manifests itself as the INTPs ability to make observation based on past observation. (An INTJ would not allow past situations to "cloud" their thought, instead focusing on the future.)

Edit: Not only this, but House (the show) wouldn't WORK if he was an INTJ.
It would be over before it started.
Keeping the example going, if it were Sherlock Holmes M.D. he would treat the patient once and go home.
The show wouldn't make it past its first season and the ESXX culture would not support it for very long.
Sherlock Holmes was only supported for so long because it is a de facto story, told after the fact, supported by the INXX culture that actually reads books.

ENFJs are surprisingly very much the same as ENFPs with subtle differences. I say this, because my ENFJ friends act very similarly to me, the only difference is they know when to stop at something and seem to be a little more cautious. Oh yes, and I have found that ENFJs can also appear to be quite indecisive, but are generally more organised than an ENFP on the outside. ENFJs feel emotions very intensly. Not a huge amount of difference there, although ENFJ anger is much different from what I have seen... Hahaa.. Anyhow.. House reminds me of an INTJ.

 

...if an INTJ is wrong, he'd expect a solid answer for WHY he was wrong, and if it was a good enough answer, accept it and change his model of reality. When House is wrong, he doesn't want to admit it.

Yeah, I am not too sure about that to be honest.. My experience with my INTJ friends is that when they believe they are right, they ARE right.. They HATE admitting to defeat. The only thing is, I turn their defeat into a joke, so all is fine in the end. I have found that my INTJ friends don't want to admit they are wrong, even if they know they are wrong. That's my experience with them anyway.

House seems to act like the INTJs I know..

Oh yes, and to all those people out there who are star trek fans, you may find this funny!! haha.. XD
