Early Life

Born Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro on February 5, 1985, in Funchal, Madeira, Portugal, a small island off the western coast of the country, Ronaldo is the youngest of four children born to Maria Dolores dos Santos and Jose Dinis Aveiro. He was named after Ronald Reagan, one of his father's favorite actors.

Ronaldo grew up in a largely working class neighborhood in a small tin-roofed home that overlooked the ocean. His early life was shaped by hardship; his father, a gardener, often drank too much, and eventually died from kidney problems in 2005. To help keep the children fed, and maintain some financial stability, Ronaldo's mother worked as a cook and cleaning person.

Lazily he gets up, dragging his feet along heavily and bolts the door. As he passes by the wardrobe mirror we catch the glimpse of a boy; young of age, handsome of figure, with raven black hair, skin dark as cocoa, eyes the color of burnt coal, lashes thick and curved. But wait something about him is peculiar maybe the cheeks that lack color? Or his movement that's so slow and measured? And then our eyes fall on his bare arms. Angry red...
