Former Brazilian footballer Ronaldo sheds 17 kilos after TV weight loss show

Ronaldo showed off his new physique, having lost 17 kilos, after being a part of a Brazilian television show on weight loss. Considered as one of the greatest football players of all time, he had piled on the pounds after his retirement from the sport.

By the efforts of Globo’s Medida Certa, the 36-year-old Ronaldo was able to post a picture showing off his slimline structure on twitter. Having played for Barcelona, Inter Milan and PSV in a career that spanned across 18 years, he came to weigh 118 kgs before the show and supported by his girlfriend, DJ Paula Morais. The footballer weighed 101 kgs after the show.

However, Ronaldo asserted that he would be moving to UK to study advertising. “Eighteen years have passed and I’ve hardly studied at all; I feel a great need to become a student again.”, he told Meio & Mensagem, “I’ve learnt a lot in life, travelling, living abroad, just in the school of life. But I also have to immerse myself in something.”
