It’s not often Cristiano Ronaldo can walk the streets of Madrid — or any city in the world, for that matter — and go unnoticed.

Unless he’s disguised as a homeless man.

Sporting a wig, fake beard and fat suit, the Portuguese superstar took a page out of the books of Kyrie Irving and Xherdan Shaqiri. Carrying a backpack with a small dog in tow, Ronaldo set up shop in the Plaza de Callao in downtown Madrid and proceeded to show off for unsuspecting passers by.

As you’ll see below, not many folks wanted much to do with the reigning Ballon d’Or winner, save from a young boy, who is eventually rewarded with an autographed ball once Ronaldo reveals his true identity.

It’s no Greek Island, which Ronaldo recently gave to his agent as a wedding gift, but the kid was thrilled nonetheless.
