CRISTIANO RONALDO yesterday posted a video to celebrate reaching a record 200MILLION followers on Instagram.
As well as charming family photos and pictures of him in action on the pitch, however, the 34-year-old has often baffled fans with bizarre Insta snaps down the years.
Cristiano Ronaldo is believed to earn £780k-a-post… no matter how strange they may be
From strange looking advertisements, to posing with animals – and regularly stripping down to his pants – the Portuguese megastar certainly backs himself to pull off any post he decides to upload.
And while SunSport exclusively revealed an audit claiming that over 25 percent of his followers are in fact FAKE – we take a look at what Ronaldo has posted down the years that has left the other 75 percent scratching their heads.
THE PANTS
Ronaldo is NEVER shy of stripping down to his undies and unleashing a stare down the camera lensCredit: INSTAGRAM
The only thing out of the ordinary here is the cartoon background, CR7 loves stripping to his pantsCredit: INSTAGRAM
There are few things Ronaldo loves more than showing off his face… showing off his abs is one of them, howeverCredit: Instagram @cristiano
One word that you can never use to describe Ronaldo is shy.
The Juventus star absolutely loves stripping down to his pants and showing off those chiselled abs.
When he’s sat across two baths, without even showing his face or legs… even adding a cartoon background because… why not?
Ronaldo has worked awfully hard for that physique and he absolutely revels in showing it off.
He earns around £780k-per-post – and the pants pose must have earned him MILLIONS.
He’ll claim those CR7 branded pants aren’t going to advertise themselves – but we can tell he absolutely loves it.
THE ANIMALS

Nothing is beyond CR7. When he’s not bagging crucial strikes or freakish headers, he is equally adept at charming the animal kingdom in his spare time.
Whether it’s dancing with dolphins or taming baby vultures, Ronaldo is at one with all living things.
This ability to connect with the natural world might not win him another Ballon d’Or, but it will certainly charm his millions of followers.
And when it comes to earning from your posts, a bit of product placement as in the picture with the bird can’t hurt…
THE ADVERTISEMENTS

Being one of the most iconic, recognisable faces in world sport certainly helps to secure you a few endorsements here and there.
Whether it’s posing with beautiful women in the pre-Georgina Rodriguez days, to casually shooting at a darts board – there have been plenty of ways to use Ronaldo’s image to support your brand.
For some reason, Nike also decided to create an animation of him with an absolutely massive head and unflattering jawline.
But why not? If it’s Ronaldo, it sells.
There’s even one of him sat on top a car and again, why not? It’s not like he’ll need to drive himself around anyway.
CR7 has become a huge global brand, with Ronaldo gleefully modelling for it himself.
And if his followers want to smell like him, well now they can, with CR7 aftershave – which he casually poses with as he flashes his big watch at the camera.
THE PANTS (AGAIN)

Obviously it’s completely normal to get someone to take a picture of you stripped to your pants while in the bathCredit: INSTAGRAM
Ronaldo definitely has his favourite pants poseCredit: Instagram @cristiano
Okay, so this section may have already been done.
But to be in proportion with the sheer volume of pants-posts on his account, it has to be done again.
Cristiano simply loves to pose in his underwear.
Whether it’s in the bath, in the bedroom, from behind, with slippers on…
He will never mind a snapper catching him in those personalised, CR7 branded undies.
Of all his snaps uploaded to his record number of followers, this kind appears to be his favourite.
And if it’s earning him that £780k-per-post, then why not?
