Today is Cristiano Ronaldo’s birthday. The young man, who turned just 23, and is at the top of the world was with his Portuguese team mates, who will face Italy tomorrow in a friendly. How good it is to be young, successful,
Ronaldo was born in Madeira, Portugal, to Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro and the late José Dinis Aveiro (1954 – London, 5 September 2005). He has one older brother, Hugo (b. 1975), and two elder sisters, Elma (b. 1974) and Liliana Cátia (b. Madeira, 5 October 1976). Liliana Cátia works as a singer by the stage name “Ronalda” in Portugal. Cristiano’s second given name (”Ronaldo”) is relatively rare in Portugal. His parents named him after former Hollywood actor and U.S. President Ronald Reagan due to his late father’s respect for the man. Having two given names is a common feature in Portuguese names.
“Happy Birthday Mister President”
