Striker Cristiano Ronaldo is aiming for Tan of the Match… by launching his own brand of bronzer.
The Man United star, famed for his suspiciously golden glow, looks set to cash in after a trademark in his name was filed for Cristiano Ronaldo Origins.
The application covers cosmetics such as fake tan treatments and could pave the way for Ronaldo, 36, to join the likes of model Vogue Williams and former Towie star Lauren Goodger by producing his own range of bronzing products.
Football fans can already smell like the £480,000-a-week striker, who has a range of CR7 fragrances named after his number on the pitch.
His perfumes and body sprays are said to illustrate his “passion” and “winning mindset”.
Ronaldo’s new range could include soaps, make-up and anti-aging creams, according to the application.
The dad, whose girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez, 27, is due to give birth to twins next year, has previously insisted male grooming is key, saying: “Everything’s important – to look good, to smell good.”
Meanwhile, the birth of the twins will see Ronaldo become the father of six children.
Rodriguez already shares daughter Alana, who is three, with the footballer, and Ronaldo has a son named Cristiano Jnr, 11, and twins Eva and Mateo, both four.
The Manchester United superstar announced they were expecting twins by sharing an image of himself and Rodriguez in bed on Instagram and captioned it: "Delighted to announce we are expecting twins.
"Our hearts are full of love - we can’t wait to meet you."
Minutes after the social media announcement, his mother, Dolores Aveiro, wrote on his Instagram: “Let my grandchildren be born healthy. That’s what matters the most."
