New York, May 25 (ANI): Soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo is furious at Vanity Fair - the cover of which shows him in only in tight underpants - next to rival player Didier Drogba.
The Real Madrid stud is fuming that after he stripped down to his underpants and showed off his ripped muscles for photographer Annie Leibovitz, the magazine bosses also ran a photo of Chelsea FC striker Drogba on the cover.
Ronaldo has accused the magazine of using his picture to rake in profits for their June issue.
“Ronaldo is freaking out.
“He says he wants to sue Vanity Fair for using his image to promote the issue everywhere.
“Even though this is pretty standard practice in the magazine world, he and his managers insist only they have control of his image and where it can be used.
“But no legal action has been launched, and there are whispers that what really upset Ronaldo was that, having stripped off to his underpants for the shoot in Madrid, he didn’t envisage sharing the cover with another player photographed in Milan,” The New York Post quoted a source as saying. (ANI)
