Ronaldo turns 40: From a boy who was almost not born, had to beg for food to a star that the whole world admires

The life story of superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is enough to make a Hollywood.

On February 5, Cristiano Ronaldo officially turned 40, a memorable milestone in the life of the Portuguese superstar.

At this time, Ronaldo has everything he wants, from money, career to fame. Going back in time nearly 30 years ago, perhaps the boy Ronaldo who had to leave home at the age of 12 probably did not expect that he could go so far.

A difficult childhood, almost not born

Ronaldo was born into a poor family of 4 siblings in Madeira. Because Ronaldo’s father – Mr. Dinis – was to all day. The burden of making a living fell on Ronaldo’s mother, Mrs. Dolores.

At the time of her pregnancy with Ronaldo, Dolores thought about having an abortion because she was afraid she wouldn’t have enough money to raise the child. She planned to see a doctor to do this procedure, but on the scheduled date, her motherly instincts did not allow her to abandon her child. Finally, Ronaldo was born.
