Cristiano Ronaldo Gives Kid Surprise Of His Life [Video]

The professional soccer player is known for his goodwill towards children and this latest video proves just how big of a heart Cristiano Ronaldo has. Uploaded to YouTube by imNovoa, the video shows a man, dressed like a homeless person, kicking a soccer ball around with a child on a Madrid street. After playing for a while, the man gets ready to leave, that’s when the man sheds his wig disguise. The kid is shocked and extremely excited to find out that the person is really his favorite soccer player.

Ronaldo has a special place in his heart for children. His philanthropy to children’s causes first sparked the public’s attention in 2004 after Indian ocean tsunami and earthquake. Cristiano saw the terrible television footage of an eight-year-old survivor wearing one of his jerseys. He was so touched by the disaster that he came to Indonesia to help with emergency efforts.
