Yesterday we got our FIRST LOOK at the first photos released from the Spring/Summer 2010 ad campaign for Emporio Armani featuring their new male spokesmodel Cristiano Ronaldo (which came out one day after Armani released the first photos of Megan Fox as their new female spokesmodel). Today we get to see a few more photos of Ronaldo in Armani and, I’m happy to report, they are just as RIDICULOUSLY posed as the first photos are:

He may be packing a smaller lunchbox, but the six pack certainly seems to be more pronounced. Chiselled Cristiano Ronaldo flexes his muscles for the new Emporio Armani Men’s Underwear and Armani Jeans campaign after taking over from David Beckham. During his two years with the Italian fashion house, Becks was thought to have benefited from a spot of airbrushing to accentuate his six pack (and his package). But at 10 years younger, 24-year-old Real Madrid star Ronaldo – who does 3,000 sit-ups a day to maintain his killer abs – will perhaps not require as much touching up. That’s not to say that the Portuguese ‘winker’ hasn’t taken some inspiration from Mr Beckham over the years. Not only has he taken his Armani crown, seen here fronting the Spring/ Summer 2010 ad campaign, but he has also followed him around the football pitch too. In 2003 he signed for Manchester Untied, only to bag the famous No 7 shirt worn by the club’s departed star player Beckham. And then two years after Becks left Real Madrid for LA Galaxy, Ronaldo reared his head again by signing a deal with the Spanish club. In recent years has even been seen enjoying spending time in Los Angeles, proving that where ever Beckham is, Ronaldo is not far behind. The pictures for the ad, which will hit billboards and magazines next month, were shot on location Madrid by renowned fashion photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.
I find the allegation that Cristiano Ronaldo does “3,000 sit-ups a day” highly dubious … but if that’s his story, I guess we’ll have to take his word on it. It’s a shame, even with a rockin’ bod, these photos look TERRIBLE because of how poorly posed they are. LOL. After the jump, check out a couple more photos — poorly posed but he is in his undies …

LOLOL!! These poses are just … bad. He looks pretty hot tho, so, I guess I’ll take what I can get. What do y’all think of these newer photos … better, worse or meh?

Ah! You know, Beckham just has “it” – this guy, not so much. Sure he has a nice body, but I’m just not liking any of these pics so far. He has to put on the sexiness, whereas Beckham just oozes it!
these pics are in black and white because he’s ORANGE in real life.. <3
put a bag on his head and these pics would be great.
@chris: hahahahahahaha :D he SO is!
Bloody Hell.. I am sorry.. I love Love Becks.. but Ronaldo’s body is amazing.. And I Disagree with @nicole, I love his face.. when he isnt orange of course ;)
@Paul-but whens the last time he wasnt orange? or lookin like a burnt turkey?lol
@nicole – Ha Ha Ha..Ur right.. which is what i always say to my BF (who loves Ronaldo) when we are fighting about who is better looking.. Him or Becks (I am Pro Becks but have a soft side for Ronaldo too).
I think his face is rather unique and it makes him stand out more. It makes you question his beauty, I think.
Lol! These are hilarious. And yet I totally think the photo of him in the white shorts getting splashed with all that water is super-sexy.
What the hell was Armani thinking?
How so tacky and cheesy. No thanks.
Ronaldo seems like he’s super cocky, whereas Beckham seems more modest about his hotness..Ronaldo’s cockiness totally comes through in his pics..He’s super talented and his body is out of control, but I’d take Beckham, or better yet, Fernando Torres, over him anyday!
It’s so funny how people are bagging Ronaldo for yes his ridiculous poses – but Beckham is no model neither. From the looks of things, all his poses are squints and looks almost asian in all his shots. I unfortunately cannot forget that picture of a comb-over Beckham grabbing a rope. Terrible for both of them.
I’ve never liked Ronaldo. Sure, he is an amazing footballer but he has always striked me as arrogant and a player who plays for himself. He’s trying to hard to fit in the A-list and I’ve never forgetten his part in the sending off of Rooney in the 2006 World cup. Seeing these pics just makes me laugh :D :D out loud too, mind you!
@Kendra
I totally agree with you about Fernando Torres. A great footballer, a nice enough guy in general and a very hot one too :)
they suck….becks looked much better
omg… water plus a bare top normally makes a hot pic but in this case it’s just… constipated?
These are ugly. Seriously.
Beckham seems more modest I would like to see him here…….
