A Cristiano Ronaldo lookalike is still getting plenty of work and offers of dates after the Portugal superstar’s explosive Man Utd exit.
Bewar Abdullah from Birmingham gets booked out for children’s parties due to his similarity to the footballer.
The 28-year-old also gets plenty of female attention still.
Ronaldo, 37, is set to play in the World Cup last 16 clash against Switzerland on 6 December.

He forced his exit from United with an interview with Piers Morgan before heading to Qatar in which he heavily criticised the club.
The Premier League club announced last month he is to leave by mutual agreement.
Bewar, originally from Kurdistan, said: “Many people approach me and ask for photographs and videos.
“They shout ‘Ronaldo’ when they see me.
“Fans think we are like an apple cut in half because we look so alike.

“When I got to watch a Portugal match the atmosphere when I’m there is so good.
“They wait for Ronaldo to score so I can do the celebratory ‘Siu’.
“It’s my dream to meet the real Ronaldo one day.

“Fans even invite me to their children’s birthday parties as a gift – I come and say hello, it makes them very happy.”
Bewar said he has women begging to go out with him too.
“I attract many women,” he added.
Bewar has become a social media sensation on TikTok (@bewarcristiano), where he has built up a following of 1.3 million fans.
In one post – which racked up 4.3 million views and 120,000 likes – Bewar poses with a Ronaldo face mask covering his own, before pulling it down and revealing himself.
His incredible likeness to the football star has led to people believing the real Ronaldo is behind the popular clips.
“No cuz it looks like him, omg,’ said one user with a shocked emoji.
Another person commented: “Wow!! Thought you was Ronaldo for a second there! Don’t tell my husband!”
One user added: “Ronaldo in 2026.”
“I love u Ronaldo,” another fan said. [sic]
“Omg the goat,” another viewer commented.
But other internet sleuths worked out that it was not the real footballer.
“He is not Ronaldo,” one person commented with a confused emoji.
Another person joked: “That’s Cristian Ronald.”
Someone else added: “Just realized he doesn’t have earrings like Ronaldo does.”
“Bro is Ronaldo’s brother,” another person said.
Bewar moved from Kurdistan to the UK in 2019 after “family and love issues” which made him look elsewhere for a “new life” – and he has never looked back.
He added: “My life changed. So many people me love here. I feel like I belong in the spotlight.”
As for who he thinks will win the World Cup? Bewar’s got his money on Portugal or Brazil.
