Who says he's vain? Cristiano Ronaldo was happy to take second billing as he unveiled a giant statue - of himself - on his home island of Madeira in Portugal.

Ronaldo calls the larger-than-life bronze statue “prettier than me,” according to Spanish news agency Europa Press.

But the statue immediately drew gags on social media for its rather prominent bulge in the shorts area.
