Cristiano Ronaldo TAKES OVER Times Square to unveil Madame Tussauds wax figure

Cristiano Ronaldo took over Times Square, virtually, on Monday ahead of Portugal's World Cup opener against Ghana to unveil his latest wax figure for Madame Tussauds New York.

The 37-year-old became the first athlete to ever accomplish a "Times Square takeover," giving a personal video message to his fans which was screened on the billboards and buildings in the iconic square.

The event is in conjuction with his native country's destination brand Visit Portugal.
