HOT SHOTS: Just as Megan Fox gazes sexily into the camera for the sultry Emporio Armani Underwear and Armani Jeans campaigns for spring, Real Madrid winger Cristiano Ronaldo turns up the heat and flexes his abs for the companion men’s ads.
As the official worldwide testimonial, Ronaldo succeeds fellow soccer star David Beckham. The black and white images were shot on location in Madrid by fashion photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, and will break in sports, fashion and lifestyle magazines in February.
Ronaldo will also appear on billboards in such cities as New York, Los Angeles, London, Milan, Rome, Paris and Tokyo. “Cristiano is a great looking man with the perfect physique of an athlete,” said Armani. “For me, he is the essence of youth – spontaneous, exciting, a real maverick.” Images of the campaign are exclusively available on the Armani Facebook page.
